Moviemaker Martin McDonagh was so concerned that comments Colin Farrell's character makes about picturesque Bruges in his new film would upset Belgians, he insisted on screening it for tourism bosses.

In action comedy 'In Bruges', Farrell and fellow Irish actor Brendan Gleeson play hitmen reluctantly lying low in the town, and trying to blend in with tourists.
