In Bruges

Liked this a fair bit. The unevenness is deliberate, I think, including the melding of genres, and its investment in its characters - Ken and Ray in particular - pays off (Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell are both delightful). It has bursts of out and out violence - it's a film about hitmen, after all - interspersed with the character development, muted comedy, honest to goodness dramatic (in more than one sense) episodes and picture postcard shots of Bruges which make up the bulk of its running time, and all the bits more or less knit.
