Pretty insufferable and vacuous meta satire about the industry that leaves no lasting impression despite the quality cast (and adorable dogs). The fake shootout scene could be the worst thing I've seen in 2012, and I watched Ted. Honestly, though, I just hate this type of movie. I have the same reaction to songs about the record industry. Why are you writing about this? Who are you writing for? I don't care. Fuck off.

A disappointment from the writer of 'In Bruges'. The sad, simple truth is that the script, with its "wouldn't this be cool/crazy/funny" setups, is insanely uninspired. Matters aren't helped by the self-satisfied nature of all the constant winking at us ("remember, this is a piss-take on genre clichés") when referencing said clichés quickly grows just as tiresome. Matters are helped by the gameness of Farrell, Harrelson and Walken. (Okay, so maybe I'm mostly angry that Olga merely cameos.)

YES. A little slice of cinematic heaven. Witty, exciting, quotable, creatively energizing filmmaking. Olga Kurylenko's microscopic part is a little strange and, granted, there's a mild Pulp Fiction flavor to it in its vaguely anthology-esque structure, mix of violence and humor, and general love of movies, but it's not enough to make it anything less than bracingly original. Oh, and Christopher Walken is actually asked to ACT for the first time since, god, Catch Me If You Can, I guess?

Martin McDonagh's slick and fun screenplay is one of the best I've seen this year. It's not as tidy as In Bruges, but it's arguably funnier and reaches a point of self-referential bliss that I'm still not sure if the man knows how brilliant it is. Great to see Walken doing relevant work again, but the standout performance undoubtedly goes to Rockwell. The third act spins out a little, but this is still top quality cinema I can't recommend enough. Go see it and have a blast.

Wasn't what I thought it was, but highly enjoyable. Colin Farrell... man, I used to hate that asshole, but he's been in some really good films as he's matured as an actor. Walken is fantastic. Tom Waits is appropriately creepy. Sam Rockwell STEALS every scene he's in. A solid pseudo-comedy.

It has a great concept and is wonderfully acted by everybody involved, specifically (you mean specifically?) Rockwell, but Walken and Harrelson are a delight as well. The humour works, the story has just the right amount of suspense but it's also incredibly playful. It has some plot points that it doesn't wrap up (though I wonder if that is intentional considering how self-aware it is), but it's easy to ignore any minor flaws that exist considering it's so entertaining.

Just a little too bizarre. It's a commentary on the mindless nature of many of the derivative Tarantino knock-offs. While it is never delivered as very serious, its levity surrounding the casual killing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's not offensive, it's just a bit off and unbalanced. The dialogue saves it, especially from Walken and Rockwell.

Standing as a pillar of the under-appreciated comedic sub-genre of new-school crime flicks, packed with an amazing cast full of fan-favorites (and among the best I've ever seen Colin "The Charisma Vacuum" Farrell), the flick moves along at a great pace and should satiate both the crime & violence fans as well as the black comedy crowd. The dialogue is truly inspired in most places, and believe it or not, there's heart and morality and principle to be found, too. A definite recommend!

Seven Psychopaths sports an impressive cast and good performances, but McDonagh's screenplay, while energetic and fun, leans into its self-referential gimmick to a degree where it starts to come off as smug. Perhaps this is a film that you have to be in a particular mood to enjoy.

Probably my new favorite role for Rockwell, who was already one of my favorite actors. The entire movie is just a lot of fun. It's meta, it's violent, it's funny, and it's got some unique characters. The plot is a little cobbled together, but that can be forgiven for all it does right.

Seven Psychos delivers less than the sum of its parts -- Rockwell overacts, Walken plays himself and, well, he just shines again --, but McDonagh's dialogues, even when they last too long -- and they do --, are delightfully delicious to catch. The plot is centered on a bit silly and worn-out writer's block premise, but it also gives room for amazing one-liners about Hollywood, its psycho flicks and the film itself.

Outstanding cast, great acting but a pathetic plot. Tons of gratuitous violence. It spends too much time poking fun at the art of making movies and tries too hard to mock the writing profession. Most of the inside jokes are annoying. Another movie made for people who make movies. Not nearly as clever as it wants to be. The annoying plot circles are tedious and make the movie feel disjointed. Only the great performances saves this movie from the garbage heap.

As sceptical as I was about the concept of a movie called "Seven Psychopaths" not starring Nicolas Cage I was rather amused with this. It has witty dialogue and a great performance from Rockwell but unfortunately the script is just all over the place and the movie is a bit too in on it's own joke. Also: Christopher Walken is always a joy to watch.

Seven Psychopaths is a success because it's hilarious. That's all that's necessary in a comedy, after all. But I saw the potential genius of this type of film. It draws attention to its flaws, and if it could have subverted those along with our expectations instead of bringing them up for a quick laugh, it would have been a grand film. It's still a lot of fun, and if you're a fan of any of the male actors -- not the females, because none of them have large parts -- you'll want to check it out.

This one is Cabin in the Woods for the mafia/cool bad guy/guns abound movie genre. These meta-movies have started to become entertaining and this one was full of cool references, very good writing and all around great acting. Sam Rockwell shines more with his over the top rendition of Billy, the hyperexcited actor. Aside from seeing that Colin Farrell's hair and eyebrows start from the same position in HD, the movie was genuinely entertaining.

Seven Psychopaths is armed to the teeth with boisterous shoot-outs and cold-blooded killings, but its satiric edge reveals a biting critique of the incessant violence it seems to thrive on. Despite being build around a ridiculous plot, McDonagh's script is filled with humor, thrills and surprising depth, showing us he isn't just a one trick pony. And Rockwell should get some sort of award for being AWESOME, just sayin'.

Absolutely brilliant film. The way the story is of a person attempting to write a story while inadvertently ending up in the story he tells, which is based off of a collection of stories told by seven psychopaths. Very meta. And very well done. Pretty much the entire cast rocks it. Writing, acting, are all solid.

Although incredibly quirky and oddly endearing the film nearly incapacitates itself with its own incoherencies, redeeming with an endearing strain of utterly outlandish psychopathic humour. Despite the occasional sanguineous splattering and bouts of madcap pacifist violence it's a very amicable experience with McDonagh's characteristically bitter humour and blunt depth remaining intact. The leads are all excellent, but Walken particularly stands out. Imperfect but undeniably great fun.

Blends a film about films and a crime caper film into a film about a film about films and I can't say I was entertained. Highlights cliches but doesn't seem to mind using them in earnest to push the story along. Why point out all these tired elements of film if only to earnestly use them under the ruse of ironic self-deprecation? I could see it was supposed to be a comedy but I was just left unentertained and bored at the wacky performances. A bitter letdown.

even less sincere and more embarrassingly cocksure than IN BRUGES, which is quite some achievement. the kind of gratuitous faux-redemptive clusterfuck only a narcissistic alcoholic-in-denial could make. good god, it's cringeworthy, though laugh-out-loud funny a handful of times. would've worked better as a straight-up amoral comedy.

Not the bona fide masterpiece that McDonaugh's previous film was, but still a fun ride with its story of a screenwriter who's story comes to life around him. I like the way the story incorporates the writing process into its plot. The cast is brilliant all around, from standouts Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell, to the also solid Colin Farrell, Tom Waits and Christopher Walken.

All the ingredients for something amazing are here. You've got Walken, Rockwell, Farrell and Tom Waits together, and the title is 'seven psychopaths'. Then why was I so apathetic about the whole thing? A few interesting ideas/scenes, but it was hard to care about any of the characters, and the pokes at the movie industry came off a bit smug. Maybe I was just in a bad mood. Would've loved this if I saw it when I was 10 years younger though.

I liked this a whole bunch. I liked the meta-narrative going on through the whole thing. I liked that it was ultimately a life-affirming film in the midst of a lot of dark, borderline nihilistic events. I liked that Tom Waits was in it. I liked that it was as sick of purposeless violence as I am. I liked that it had enough self-awareness to realize that it wasn't itself above the criticisms it was making of film audiences. Yeah, this was good. This was good.

It is a bit all over the place but man, if it is not one of the most entertaining and legitimately funny movies in a long time.

Martin McDonagh's black meta-farce about an alcoholic screenwriter, his dognapping friend, and the overwrought gangster the latter upsets. It's nothing short of a blast, with the laughs coming thick and fast (the audience was so broken up I missed a deal of dialogue). McDonagh's brilliantly developed script is balanced by his crackling direction; his colorful characters are perfectly enacted by a superb ensemble, with Sam Rockwell a particular standout as the enthusiastically insane dog thief.

Cleverly done farce that carries with it a deep sadness, even a mourning over life in a world that loves and thirsts for violence. Yes, the whole thing is "meta," though it does so not for the sake of being meta, but to connect the audience with the hearts of these characters. The film is about so much more than the writing process, which is really, in the end, just a red herring. And on top of all that, the laughs are inventive and plentiful.

It's simply impossible to make a bad movie with Tom Waits, Zeljko Ivanek, Chris Walken and Harry Dean Stanton. Of course, it doesn't necessarily guarantee a great movie, and 7P spends a little too long smugly luxuriating up its own ass while trying to sell us on reheated gags that got cut from "In Bruges". But there are enough great moments to sustain it even when you want to slap Farrell and McDonagh (it's a 2-for-1 kinda deal).

McDonagh does Tarantino and Charlie Kaufman (specifically, *Adaptation*). The film just fell flat for me. The dialogue and characters weren't very interesting at all. I like Sam Rockwell as an actor, and I'm not sure what was wrong, but the comedy just didn't work--unlike *In Bruges*. The little tales about different psychopaths were the best part of the film for me. (probable score: 70)

McDoughnut's a bit overrated. Unpopular opinion, I know. Seven Psychopaths is probably "technically" his weakest, but equally, I probably found it the most entertaining. Loved the meta angle, was disappointed in how it satirised conventional script format and then conformed to it - wasn't necessary. Spoiled things a bit. Dude's films feel like Coen copies. Similar style, derivative in their black humour, satire & shock-violence, but not as tight or consistent. (Eh. So shoot me.)

This movie was a lot of fun. It definitely reminded me of the director's last collaboration with Colin Farrell in In Bruges, though not quite as good. The cast here is truly awesome, with standouts being Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken. It was all very metatextual, which I liked. With all these great elements, it should make for a brilliant film. However, it doesn't all quite gel well enough, and instead often feels disjointed. Still, it was very enjoyable and I can easily recommend it.

The cast is impressive, there's some fun banter, lots of clever plot details and the film is never boring; although, ultimately, I felt it was just too self-indulgent and not half as "darkly affecting" as it indented to be. McDonagh was apparently too busy channeling Tarantino (the layered plot, the carnage) and Kaufman (the self-centeredness) to churn out another original masterwork like "In Bruges" -his "Psychopaths" are entertaining but too derivative and self-aware to truly stand out.

From there on everything really comes together and the first half starts to gain meaning. Plus with a cast of Walken, Rockwell, Harrelson, and Ferrell just makes it a fun movie.

Ugly, unpleasant Tarantino/Ritchie wannabe is a heavy-handed misfire from McDonagh - lacking the spirited sense of humour (and sureness of direction) marking his better efforts, this provides a good cast with characters who are unlikable and inexplicable, with only Walken managing to inject any charm and charisma into his over-the-hill "psychopath". Lurching in an ungainly way from character to character eventually becomes frustrating, robbing the film of any momentum, comic or otherwise.

An amusing, self-effacing and, above all, funny comedy that admittedly takes a little too long in tying up its loose ends but does so reasonably successfully. Worth a watch.

Witty, well-acted, and surprisingly warm-hearted. Probably won't remember it in a few years, but I enjoyed this quite a lot.

It's a fucking mess and shows up McDonagh as someone who got lucky with In Bruges (Three Billboards did this too, more definitively), but the sheer strength of the cast manages to make it reasonably good.

It's no 'In Bruges', but it's a cute little meta-thought-experiment. It doesn't manage to probe as deeply as something like, for example, 'Adaptation,' though.

One critic I follow said this is Sam Rockwell's best performance, but boy do I have to disagree with that. I really like Rockwell, and I think he's usually the most interesting thing on any screen he occupies, but the overacting he does here is flat and uninteresting, lacking anything to lift him off the pages of his comic-like script.

It is the meta script and Sam Rockwell's brilliant performance that make sure this is more than just another crime comedy with snappy dialogue. Walken, Woody, Colin Farrell and Tom Waits are all great as well.

MarkJP's minireview basically nails it. To plagiarize: Witty, decent performances, script drifts and wavers, movie too in on its own joke. Also, Walken.

Uneven but highly entertaining black comedy. Rockwell is amazing Farrell solid and Walken turns in his best role in ages. Look forward to more from McDonagh.

The cast is great (Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson and Christopher Walken steal the show), the dialogues are a lot of fun, the direction is very solid, the characters are memorable, and the - perhaps surprisingly meta - premise is enjoyable and puts a welcome spin on the proceedings. Moreover, somewhere between the humour and the mayhem, "Seven Psychopaths" has got heart as well - and even though it might get a bit too smartass now and then, it is a consistently really good time.

Nice story and majority of actors do a good job. The third act is dragging and there's some flaws but all in all pretty funny flick. Although a story around a dog feels a bit silly thing to do. In Burges sounds like interesting movie to check out next.

A bit too all over the place; but totally worth it to watch guys like Walken, Harrelson, Rockwell and Waits have fun with a set of really "out there" characters. Very meta, very twisted and very funny. I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on McDonagh.

A satire of both Tarantino and the Coens, and it can't make something coherent out of these radically different film-makers. There's some good acting, though.

An unusual deconstruction of the post-Tarantino indie gangster movie, a film that notes the increasing absurdities of the genre while indulging in them just a little. Not the film it was advertised as, but an unusual genre-bending experience.

This movie was not exactly what I was expecting. It was a good deal less funny than the previews portrayed. The acting was all wonderful though. Walken was extremely excellent and so was Rockwell. Farrell actually seemed to fade into the background of this movie. The real star of the film is Bonnie the Shih Tzu. What a cutie! My favorite type of dog. Harrelson's love for Bonnie is completely believable because I love my dog enough to shoot a man's wife with cancer. Just kidding!

Bloody brilliant. The best of its kind, for sure. Everyone is top notch, and the comments on violence in movies and depiction of women are spot on, and the fact that McDonaugh and team observe these conventions even while taliing about subverting them is just the meta-icing on the self-referential cake.

The comically low stakes and convoluted meta-narrative kind of rob the film of some urgency (it's difficult to get a grip on why people are doing what they're doing beyond McDonagh thinking it's funny that he made you think that), and the goofs made at its own expense about women and violence aren't really engaged with beyond the winks, but it's funny and entertaining and the acting's amazing so what the fuck. It doesn't reach the heights of Adaptation, but I suspect it will improve on re-watch.

Hilarious, strange, quite absurd, dramatic, genius... I have so many words for this one and at some levels it wouldn't even do this film any justice. Had some bad, slow or badly directed moments in between, but on the overal this one surprised me and this one amused me far more than any other cliched turn-your-brain-off kind of blockbuster nowadays.

Very funny, well-acted and well-casted, Seven Psychopaths is worth the price of admission. It isn't without its fair share of lulls, but their forgivable considering the quality of the rest of the film.
