Seven Psychopaths
From the director of In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths stars Colin Farrell as an Irish screenwriter with a drinking problem. He's the central figure in a dust storm of eccentric criminals who kill and steal and fuck and bum around Los Angeles. Woody Harrelson is a crime boss who oozes unhinged menace, nobody does dumb and weaselly better than Sam Rockwell, and Christopher Walken reigns over all as a small-time dognapping huckster with a few deadly secrets. It's a fine example of a kind of Hollywood movie—violent, pop-culture obsessed, and stuffed with willfully weird characters—whose heyday came and went well over a decade ago. (PAUL CONSTANT)
