Seven Psychopaths
Starring Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken
Directed by Martin McDonagh
Marty (Colin Farrell) is a struggling screenwriter trying to work on his next project, "Seven Psychopaths," about seven different psychopaths who don't kill but rather just talk about their issues. His best friend Billy (Sam Rockwell) wants more violence in the script, so he sends a call out for any former psychopaths who want to be interviewed for the movie.
Meanwhile, he also steals the dog of a psychopath named Charlie (Woody Harrelson), who goes on a rampage in search for the dog nappers, finding Billy's friend Hans (Christopher Walken), and using him to get to Billy and Marty. The three friends escape into the desert to hide from Charlie and also work on the screenplay, revealing secret identities and causing more turmoil then they had planned.
This movie didn't fare well in the theaters because it's not a typical film, it deviates greatly from the main point into different sub-points, to which most people might be confused and not understand how it combines into the whole of the film, but if you pay attention you can piece together everything, it's just not done in a perfect order.
The acting in the film is superb, especially with Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson's characters, which are both downright deliciously devious, and of course the iconic psycho Christopher Walken, which makes the film all the more better. Even Colin Farrell gives a powerful punch as the pacifist who doesn't want violence or guns around him, yet wants to write a screenplay about psychopaths.
Filled with dark humor, over-the-top violence and...of course...Christopher Walken...you got a great shoot-em-up film with intelligence and humor.
Rating: A-
