In Bruges, 2008 (directed by Martin McDonagh).
I’ve always liked Colin Farrell, he’s been good in most his films and is a decent actor. But when I saw him here I was literally blown away by his performance. The thing is in his other films I always felt like I was watching Colin Farrell the actor and not the character he was portraying. With portrayal of Ray in In Bruges I felt like I was watching the character, like I was watching a person that just kind of looked like Colin Farrell. The way he spoke was different and his mannerism was very peculiar. Another aspect that impressed me is that throughout this film he made you laugh and at the same time completely broke your heart. I think this is the performance of his career and I’m glad he won a Golden Globe for it, although he deserves much more.
