A breezy, quotable, blood-soaked treat.October 12, 2012
Yes, it's a lot to keep track of, but writer-director Martin McDonagh does so with deft humor as the film hurls toward a desert climax, foreshadowed in one of Billy and Marty's exchanges.October 12, 2012
All this narrative nesting and genre-skipping sounds very cerebral on the page, but in practice, Seven Psychopaths is as pleasurably kinetic as can be, full of double-crosses and gunplay and sun-kissed SoCal locations.May 03, 2015
I'm not sure it all hangs together in the end, but McDonagh's grasping at something interesting.February 26, 2016
Seven Psychopaths may not add up to a whole lot, but McDonagh makes these small-time strivers and hoods fun to be around for a couple of hours.April 17, 2016
Although "Psychopaths" is an enjoyably confounding experience, some will be put off by its parade of esoteric ideas. But what a parade it is.October 22, 2012
The kind of messy, absurdist movie that can lift you out of a crappy mood-at least for a while.October 07, 2015
There's never a moment in which "Seven Psychopaths" seems particularly original or inspired.October 14, 2012
This is one of the best times I've had at the movies in years.October 12, 2012
Each time it appears that McDonagh, who also directed, has written himself into a cul de sac, he off-roads the movie (sometimes literally) into fresh territory.December 04, 2012
McDonagh is less saturated in film and pop culture than Tarantino and less prone than Kaufman to disappear down story wormholes.June 10, 2016
McDonagh might have had a minor classic in the tradition of Quentin Tarantino...But by the time the characters head to the desert to pitch a tent and contemplate new screenplay concepts, we've nearly forgotten what the movie is supposed to be about.
