Okay, what year is this supposed to be placed in?
There's inconsistencies with the time period. :s

I thought it was current times--remember the cell phone? But at the end, after the credits begin, I noticed all of the cars were from the 1960s. I wonder about the significance of that.

Remember what Charlie said to Hans at the hospital about the cravat; he likes it, it's of a by-gone era.
A lot of things in the movie are of a by-gone era, including the cars, and the music in the soundtrack, even the Vietnam storyline. It's just a theme in the movie for whatever reason.
From what I've seen, McDonagh doesn't really like to feature contemporary elements at all. In fact, I think he specifically tailors his work to be happening in any era.
IN BRUGES is set in a small, medieval cobblestone city. No cellphones are used, only trains are used for transportation, etc.
SIX SHOOTER is set entirely on a train. No technology there either.
Even look at his plays:
THE PILLOWMAN features the sparse settings of a dystopian prison. A few chairs and a table. That's it.
THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE is set in the early nineties.
THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN is set in a rural farming village.
And so on, the remainder of his plays are in sparse or antiquate settings and give no real indication of contemporary setting.
