A group of well-behaved killers

He killed a little boy, and no one can get away with killing a child." The original sentence was very righteous, but it came from the killer boss who had emotional control problems. This is a bit intriguing. The new killer Ray was on a mission to kill the godfather. The little boy praying in the church was out of time, and the big boss asked Ray and Ken to go to Bruges to escape. Ray is actually a very simple person, as can be seen from the dialogue between him and the godfather.
The godfather: "Why did you kill people?" ? "
Ray: "For the money. "
Godfather:" You kill for money? Isn't it because of anger..."
Lei: "No, it's money. Ray was
deeply tormented, cynical in Bruges, complaining about everything he saw. The old town full of medieval history could not appease Ray's restless heart until he met the beautiful Clay. On the first date, Ray looked in the mirror and sorted his clothes. The second button of his shirt was tied and unbuttoned, unbuttoned and tied again and again. But the date did not go well, first by the provocation of the neighbor in the restaurant, and then by The appearance of the girl's ex-boyfriend. Although Lei knew that the girl was not a simple film crew, he still said, "I knew that a good girl like you didn't look down on someone like me, and I knew it.
" The next day after planting High, Ray came to the park alone with a gun and prepared to commit suicide. At the same time, Ken, who was tasked to kill his companion, also got a gun and prepared to shoot him in the park. It turned out that the boss sent Ken and Ray together. When I got to Bruges, I wanted to kill Ray, because in the boss's mind, killing the little boy would be responsible and die. But the irony is that when Ray was about to commit suicide, Ken uncontrollably stopped him, feeling this The scene is more of an instinctive reaction. "You want to commit suicide, I also want to commit suicide, but who really committed suicide? If he wants to commit suicide, let him commit suicide. Suicide can solve both your problem and mine. Why do you want to stop it? ! "That's right, not only the big boss has to question it, but we the audience don't understand it. Maybe Ken and Lei are both killers, but they're not so cold-blooded.
Later, the big boss personally came to Bruges to end Lei's life, the film gradually reached its climax, and the massacre of the killers began. In fact, it is a bit of a flattery to say that it is a big fight, and it is more accurate to kill them. The scene where Ken dies is really touching, but I think the best scene is the scene where Ken and the boss are arguing on the tower. When Ken said emotionally what I didn't resist, the big boss still fired a shot, "You think you'll let you go if you push me like xxx", I feel this scene is even more ironic. Later, when the boss accidentally killed the dwarf and then swallowed a gun, he said "someone has to obey the rules", which also made people wonder whether to laugh or cry.
It's a bunch of so-called killers. They make a living by killing people, and they should be cold-blooded, but they are still sticking to some rules that I don't know how many people stick to. If killers are all following the rules and tacitly cannot kill children, should we ordinary people stick to some stricter things?
British movies generally feel dull, and this film is also a bit dull, but one advantage of British movies is that the characters in the movie are very particular about the costumes, and they always look like a British gentleman. Overall it's a good movie, if you're not afraid to watch it. Take a look when you have time~

  • [upon reaching the top of the tower and overlooking the city]

    Ken: [to himself] I like it here.

  • Ray: Harry, I've got an idea.

    Harry: What?

    Ray: My room faces out the canal, right? I'm going to go back to me room, jump into the canal, see if I can swim to the other side and escape.

    Harry: All right.

    Ray: If you go outside around the corner, you can shoot at me from there and try to get me. That way we'll leave this lady and her baby out of the whole entire thing.

    Harry: You completely promise to jump into the canal? I don't want to run out there, come back in ten minutes, and find you fucking hiding in a cupboard.

    Ray: I completely promise, Harry. I'm not going to risk having another little kid dying on me.

    Harry: So, hang on - I go outside and I go which way? Right or left?
