BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
mistramicizia Previously having mixed opinions on this film before I watched, I've got to say it surprised me with its originality and fun characters. This movie quite certainly proves Martin McDonagh is one of the best directors out there, and whenever he makes a film (which is not so often), he does it in style. Unique and somewhat strange storytelling, mixed with great performances from Colin Farell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson and Christopher Walken, is what makes this one of the best British (by a British director) movies. Although, if you're asking me, it felt different than Three Billboards and In Bruges (which is in a good way, and empshasizing McDonagh's wide range of ideas and expressions). Underrated and not much discussed, I would definitely recommend this movie, which pretty much has a little bit of everything.DISCLAIMER : Everything stated in this review is entirely matter of personal opinion and doesn't have to coincide with the opinions of other reviewers
Majikat I feel this is a movie that when revisited several times, you will see and hear something different each time. Loved Sam Rickwell's Character and the concept of the film is unique.
keniwhat Gave up on this after twenty five minutes or so. Big cast, speaking dumb lines. You know they are meant to be funny because of the pitch (psychopaths etc) but there is no wit in this script which is limp as wilted lettuce. Trying hard to be Tarantino but without whatever substance he can manage to imbue in his characters. Just seemed pointless sticking with it.
noahlenzi Seven Psychopaths is one of the most misunderstood poorly marked brilliant films ever made. With a trailer that resembles more of an Ocean's 11 movie, it pulled the entirely wrong audience. This movie will resonate primarily with storytellers and writers but its a dark comedy full of meta humor and commentary on what Hollywood continues crapping out today. As a beginning screenwriter in college I found the plot based around the Seven Psychopaths screenplay to be hilariously relatable in an odd way. The script for the film itself is full of hilarious character moments and clever dialogue. I can only dream of writing something this good.The performances are all top notch with each actor clearly understanding the tone in which the director was going for. Sam Rockwell is the stand out though, this is my personal favorite role of his. He's like the part of us that just wants a film to be fun and demented while Colin Farrell's character struggles to make a thoughtful and meaningful story. The story is almost like the characters' struggle to figure out what kind of film they're in. An author meeting his own characters only to realize he's one of them as well. Its super meta and really fun if you're open to the careful pacing it takes. This is not an action movie. Its more of a dark comedy/drama. Do not, I repeat, do not watch the trailer for this film. Its a completely misleading attempt to market the film as an action comedy. This film spends time with its characters and completely earns every moment that have.Seven Psychopaths is one of my favorite films and should be viewed by more people who love everything about movies. This movie is a fun time and feels very inclusive to its audience. Its really the best written comedy just ahead of The Big Lebowski. Please give it a watch whenever you can.
