Is Hell in Michigan, or Belgium?
I highly recommend the movie "In Bruges" from back in 2008. I never got around to seeing it until now.
The plot is familiar in form, if not the details. It's a gratuitously twisty tale of hired killers.
Brendan Gleeson does a really good job as one of the lead characters, and has a few really, really amazing scenes near the end of the film.
Colin Farrell plays the other lead. And while I tend to like him in movies, truth be told, he couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Happily, in this movie he's playing a lovable but stupid Irishman. Meaning: the role doesn't really require him to act.
What "In Bruges" lacks in subtly, it makes up for in tidiness. Check it out.
(Random thought for the day: I'd like to see a buddy comedy with Brad Pitt and Colin Farrell. With lots of physical comedy, though not of the slapstick sort. There's an early scene in this flick where Farrell's character has a run-in with some American tourists that's an example the kind of physical comedy I'm talking about.)
