Hot Fuzz was violence and comedy and umm so was Shaun of the Dead.

In Bruges is Dark Comedy and you either get it as dark comedy or you don't. I mean it goes out of its way to go too far. People then complained that the ending was mean spirited because the main characters die but for heaven sake they;re KILLERS and the audience is upset that they get killed? Now that IS funny. The director makes the audience feel bad for murderers getting murdered, for hooker seeking midgets, for the two bit crook who gets his eye blasted out. This is one of the funniest dark comedies in decades...and Ralph Fiennes was a hoot.
