COLIN Farrell was a man of few words last Wednesday night at the New York Craic Fest premiere of his new film In Bruges, but his acting chops received a thumbs-up from festival-goers who raved about the flick afterwards.

Colin, who attended the screening with the film's writer/director Martin McDonagh, told the folks to enjoy the show and skeddadled after a few photos, not surprising as he's probably seen the finished product dozens of times by now.

Here, he's pictured at the cinema with Irish Deputy Consul General Breandan O Caollai, co-star Clemence Posey, McDonagh and Craic Fest CEO Terrence Mulligan, who must be feeling mighty pleased at attracting a star of Colin's quality to his ever-growing annual Craic gig.

An after-party was held at R Bar after the show.
