Anyone who saw 2008′s In Bruges – which, ideally, is everyone — has good reason to be excited for writer/director Martin McDonagh’s follow-up Seven Psychopaths, and few will have cause to be disappointed. An uproariously funny, gleefully violent, delightfully meta and spectacularly original black comedy set in the unglamorous world of LA gangsters, screenwriters and dog-nappers, Seven Psychopaths plays like an irreverent cross between Adaptation and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and features brilliant comedic performances from an immensely talented cast.
Re-teaming with McDonagh after delivering a career best performance as In Bruges’ traumatised hitman Ray, Colin Farrell plays Martin, an alcoholic Irish writer struggling to finish a screenplay entitled – wouldn’t you know it – “Seven Psychopaths”. His best friend Billy (Sam Rockell; Moon), who runs a lucrative dog-napping business with his devout associate Hans (Christopher Walken; Pulp Fiction), attempts to inspire Martin with tales of real life maniacs, only to inadvertently expose him to one after abducting the beloved Shih Tzu of a highly unstable gangster (Woody Harrelson; Rampart).
