A very good movie

Since I kept hearing some great things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out. And indeed, I wasn't disappointed, that’s for sure. When you think about it, to be honest, the story was nothing really amazing but what was awesome about this movie was actually the writing. I mean, they pretty much managed to flawlessly mix a comedy with a drama and a thriller with some great dialogues and some 3 dimensional characters. As a result, the whole thing was quite spellbinding to watch, especially the 2nd half. First of all, I have to congratulate the writer-director, Martin McDonagh, who gave here a really impressive directing début and the 3 main actors (Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes, Brendan Gleeson)  were all downright impressive. Even though Farrell got more attention, the center performance was actually provided by Brendan Gleeson who was just amazing. Like I said before, it was actually a simple story and there was no real action scene but it didn't bother me at all. Basically, it was a character-driven story and those characters were quite fascinating to watch. To conclude, it did live up to my expectations, I really loved it and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are looking for an original gangster flick.
