Reply to comment by notoliberals in Is it just be that found the trailer for "In Bruges" to be deceitful? by notoliberals

LOL. First you definite “comedy” and then “dark” but somehow miss the connector DARK COMEDY which is also EXACTLY what you wanted. In Bruges is one of the great “dark humor crime comedy” films.

Let me just make a small correction to your statement:

It is not a comedy. At least not in the way the trailer suggested it would be.

Nice semantics. It is a dark comedy. It is brooding and dark and also quite funny and poignant. I thought that’s what you asked for?

Brooding and funny don't go together

I asked for a Snatch type movie. At least that is what the trailer promised.
