MOVIE REVIEW: Seven Psychopaths


After In Bruges, Colin Farrell teams up again with director/writer Martin McDonagh in Seven Psychopaths, a delightful violently made black comedy that retains the sharp witted charm of their first collaboration with some of the best actors working and changing the setting to Los Angeles, California.

Marty (Farrell) is a screenwriter trying to finish off his script "Seven Psychopaths" with some help from his best friend Billy (Sam Rockwell), a part time actor and a thief targeting dogs and returning them to their owners once it offers a reward. He's doing it with his partner in crime Hans (Christopher Walken) who needs some money himself to help his wife who is suffering from cancer.
Unfortunately, they stole a dog, a shit tzu to be exact, whose owner is a psychopathic gangster (Woody Harrelson). Hilarity ensues in a highly entertaining way that evokes the style of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie. If you are a fan of those directors mentioned then Seven Psychopaths is a must see.
