She wasn't arrested.
I think it was because the dentist didn't want to press charges, because he was the one who started it by trying to remove a tooth unnecessarily... using a drill... and no anaesthetic.
The ending was OK, but a bit unsatisfying.
My favourite part was actually Sam Rockwell. He had a lot more to do than I expected from the trailer. Speaking of the trailer, don't go into this expecting the same level of comedy as The Guard. It has some very good moments but it's altogether a more serious film than The Guard.

Looks that way.
I actually thought The Guard and In Bruges were the same bloke.

Both exceptional writer/directors with Irish roots
McDonagh did the exceptional Calgary after The Guard, while McDonagh did Seven Psycopaths after In Bruges.
Hope that helps ;)

I can see the confusion
McDonagh is McDonagh’s older brother.

there's talk of a third film
In 2014 McDonagh said his follow-up to Calvary would be The Lame Shall Enter First, his third feature with Brendan Gleeson. The film follows a paraplegic ex-policeman in London who has developed a hatred for able-bodied people and who gets caught up in a new investigation after one of his friends is murdered. He has stated that it will be the "final one in the trilogy" and will be "an amalgamation of The Guard and Calvary"
