He's known for writing stylized, totally engrossing dialogue, but this is a departure even for a man where standard rules don't apply.
SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS MOVIE
The movie is from Martin McDonagh, the playwright and filmmaker whose breakout film was the filth-ridden, action-comedy In Bruges. There are scenes so fun to watch, brightly lit and with snappy, interesting dialogue, that you'll forget what the film is about until - BAM! - all of a sudden you get some new psychopath doing something either horribly, gruesomely violent or just totally weird. Instead, it's almost zany, but gleefully violent. Unlike a lot of dark comedies, this oddity isn't a movie full of biting sarcasm or cruelty. Enter the secondary cast of weird characters, including mob boss Woody Harrelson (whose shih tzu's kidnapping unleashes hell) and a rabbit-toting Tom Waits (yes, that Tom Waits). If anyone can figure out who these mysterious Seven Psychopaths should be it's these three.Īs they navigate a treacherous world filled with lame Hollywood parties, dog-napping blunders, very angry mobsters, and soul-searching peyote trips in the desert, they discover that their Seven Psychopaths may be closer to home than Marty would like to admit.
So far all he has is the title: "Seven Psychopaths." Thankfully, his pals, the dog-napping duo Billy (Sam Rockwell) and Hans (the incomparable Christopher Walken), are there to help. The wonderfully unconventional Seven Psychopaths stars Colin Farrell as Marty, a depressed and recently dumped screenwriter in desperate trouble working on his latest screenplay.
