How could anybody follow up a film as good as In Bruges? a comedy that's dialogue was so perfect, every single line is quotable. McDonagh's answer is Seven Psychopaths - a comedy with a screenwriter who is trying to write a film but can only think of the title - Seven Psychopaths. His friend runs a dognapping business where he steals dogs and his partner gives them back for a reward. When they steal the Shit-Zu of a crime boss, the three have to try and get out with their lives.First of all, this is nowhere as near as good as In Bruges. It's a lot sillier and less dark. The dialogue is still funny, but it seems a lot more over the top. Both Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken shine as the comedy. Colin Farrell plays the straight guy this time and becomes the least interesting because of it.
Seven Psychopaths is still good. It's just not the second coming we were all hoping for. It's a fun film with plenty of laughs and good ideas, although the poster lies about who the psychopaths actually are.
****Good
