                                                most well-preserved medieval 
                                                city in the whole of Belgium, 
                                                is a welcoming destination for 
                                                travellers from all over the 
                                                world. But for hit men Ray and 
                                                Ken, it could be their final 
                                                destination; a difficult job 
                                                has resulted in the pair being 
                                                ordered right before Christmas 
                                                by their London boss Harry to 
                                                go and cool their heels in the 
                                                storybook Flemish city for a 
                                                couple of weeks. Very much out 
                                                of place amidst the gothic architecture, 
                                                canals, and cobbled streets, 
                                                the two hit men fill their days 
                                                living the lives of tourists. 
                                                Ray, still haunted by the bloodshed 
                                                in London, hates the place, 
                                                while Ken, even as he keeps 
                                                a fatherly eye on Ray's often 
                                                profanely funny exploits, finds 
                                                his mind and soul being expanded 
                                                by the beauty and serenity of 
                                                the city. But the longer they 
                                                stay waiting for Harry's call, 
                                                the more surreal their experience 
                                                becomes, as they find themselves 
                                                in weird encounters with locals, 
                                                tourists, violent medieval art, 
                                                a dwarf American actor shooting 
                                                a European art film, Dutch prostitutes, 
                                                and a potential romance for 
                                                Ray in the form of Chlo?, who 
                                                may have some dark secrets of 
                                                her own. And when the call from 
                                                Harry does finally come, Ken 
                                                and Ray's vacation becomes a 
                                                life-and-death struggle of darkly 
                                                comic proportions and surprisingly 
                                                emotional consequences. More info: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780536/ |
