In Bruges
Medieval city escape
In Bruges is a 2008 dark comedy film about two hitmen hiding out in the medieval Belgian city of Bruges after a job gone wrong.
The title has become shorthand for a forced, claustrophobic situation where you're stuck somewhere you didn't choose: After the merger fell through, we were all just in Bruges, waiting to see who'd get fired.
