The Plot section of the article appears to be either from a studio press release or lifted from either contactmusic.com or geeksofdoom.com. The second link lists the copy as the "Official Synopsis" so I'm fairly certain it is from the studio. I'm going to add it to Wikipedia:Copyright problems. —A 03:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are premieres and premieres

"In Bruges was the opening night film of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.[1] The film opened in limited release in the United
States on February 8, 2008, premiered at the Dublin Film Festival on February 15, 2008"

Huh? How can a film "premiere" at the Dublin Film Festival on Feb 15 having shown in January at Sundance and opening all over the U.S. on Feb 8th? This should at least qualify this with "Irish premiere". Even then, are all of these dates really that important? Most movie articles just list the premiere and/or a single general release date. This would make the Sundance date the most appropriate. 216.94.11.2 (talk) 20:41, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spoiler Alert

Can you put a spoiler alert before the Plot subsection? --83.71.131.13 (talk) 14:05, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. We don't do that, as per WP:SPOILER. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 17:44, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Synopsys out of order

Ray blinds Chloe's ex-boy friend after Ken receives the order to kill Ray. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strat0master14 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, he partially blinds him; he still has another eye. Just wait until you see The Dark Knight - you will love the pencil trick! - Arcayne (cast a spell) 23:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Harry Potter Connection

Clémence Poésy, Ralph Fiennes, and Brendan Gleeson have all been in a Harry Potter film. Is this merely a coincidence, or is there some significant connection? -wjs23

Yes, the Bavarian Illuminati and the Gnomes of Zurich are at it again, using Hollywood, the backdrop of Portuguese class warfare and the promise of blood diamonds from the Congo to duke it out. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:29, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I lolled, sorry. Anoderate1 (talk) 01:10, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I wondered that, when Gleeson rolled his eye when he died, like his Mad-Eye Moody character (79.190.69.142 (talk) 18:50, 24 October 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Plot issue

I'm not sure if the plot is correct. I just finished watching the film and it says on wiki that he loses consciousness with his fate unknown. I will say that I got the impression his fate was unknown but is there word from the directors that going from first person to black and credits indicates losing consciousness? Also, its interesting that his last thoughts in the film are in an ambiguous tense eg. "I really hoped I wouldn't die."
Perhaps the part about losing consciousness should be removed.--Senor Freebie (talk) 12:10, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Anyone else have some thoughts on this? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. If we are assuming that the fade to black indicates losing consciousness, I don't see what's to stop us from assuming that the fade to black indicates death. JokeySmurf (talk) 13:50, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Denise is not Anna Madeley

I don't think that Anna Madeley is in this film at all. A character called Denise is credited on IMDB and on the end credits on the DVD as being played by Anna Madeley. I think Denise is supposed to be Harry Waters' wife who shouts at him and then worries about him going to Belgium. But that character was certainly not played by the actress Anna Madeley who looks nothing like her. I can only assume that the mistake was made by the filmmakers and put onto the DVD credits which were then copied to IMDB in the same order and thence to this article. Can anyone identify who DID play Harry's wife? It is someone who is at least 45 whereas Anna Madeley was born in 1977 and looks it. --LeedsKing (talk) 23:54, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Harry's wife is Natalie, played by Elizabeth Berrington. Denise is the blonde prostitute, played by Anna Madeley. I'll add these details to the cast section. -Captain Crawdad (talk) 06:02, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Worth Mentioning?

Is it worth mentioning the Barats and Bereta interviews with Colin Farrel, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes? --173.64.90.216 (talk) 20:12, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
