This is one movie I've been really looking forward to.Brought to us my Martin McDonagh, the man responsible for the rip roaring "In Bruges" a few years ago.
Marty (Colin Farrell) is a struggling writer, he's working on his new screenplay "Seven Psychopaths", he's hitting writers block, his best friend Billy (Sam Rockwell), part time actor/full time dog kidnapper-extortionist offers him some artistic help...it all starts to go not just pear but pretty much Banana shaped!
Firts things first, this is one hell of a cast, not just our two dopey leads but throw in Tom Waits, legends Christopher Walken and Harry Dean Stanton, Olga Kurylenko and Woody Harrelson as a Gang King Pin.The plot is fun, wacky and violent but doesn't quite achieve the heights I expected, and hoped, maybe the film could have lost some "screen fat", it does lose some momentom at times, it's a Tarantino-esque film but a slighty flabby one yes, but one still worth checking out.
