In Bruges Movie Summary

After a rookie hitman, Ray, accidentally kills a boy on his first assignment, he and his mentor/fellow killer, Ken, are sent to the city of Bruges, Belgium to lay low, and wait for their next assignment from their boss, Harry.

Ken likes the city and its sights, but Ray hates everything about the town. On a night when Ray can’t stand being in their hotel room any longer, the two decide to look around the town to see what it has to offer. They stumble upon a movie being filmed there, and Ray takes delight in one of the actors, Jimmy, who’s a midget…a little person…a dwarf.

Ray also spots Chloë who is the film’s production assistant, and he takes a keen interest in her. Little does he know that she’s also a local drug dealer. This gets him into trouble a few nights later when the two go on a date, and her boyfriend tries to rob Ray at gunpoint, but instead, Ray steals his gun, and fires it in his face. Luckily for him, the gun is just loaded with blanks, and he only loses an eye from the blast.
