Seven Psychopaths Reviews
As one character points out: “This thing’s got layers.”
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 23, 2022
In its efforts to be thought-provoking and unique, it nearly derails itself by transforming into something less than a whole, sensible project.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 2, 2020
This is a dark, screwball comedy-drama that constantly surprises.
| Original Score: A | Jul 29, 2020
A testosterone-fueled, pseudo-road movie with a story that's smart, quick-witted, and self-referential.
| Original Score: B+ | Jul 18, 2020
When the end result is quite as funny and off-the-wall as this, and the actors all quite as engaging and sharp, it's rather hard to care about the lack of lasting impact.

A highly entertaining movie filled with laughs, violence and some wonderful performances.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 13, 2019
A slick little joy ride that manages to gives us another great incarnation of the one and only Christopher Walken.

McDonagh's own script is too clever by half, and so over-torqued in the final act that it loses traction. But getting there is more than half the fun, as we watch the acting-notably the blithe tap-dance of Walken's splendidly off-kilter performance.

McDonagh has mostly succeeded in crafting a funny, self-reflexive comedy thriller, yet fails to upturn the male-dominated cult of Hollywood when held under closer scrutiny.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 6, 2019
The baroque stories-within-stories and irreverent dialogue have been done immeasurably better in the films of Quentin Tarantino.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 1, 2019
It's pure pleasure -- for both those who like crime capers and those who like mocking them.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Dec 20, 2018
I can't say this film is as brilliant as it professes to be; however, it is a funny, thought-provoking and oddly entertaining 90 minutes.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 14, 2018
The film is incredibly quotable and full of memorable moments, making for a script that never stops delivering.
| Original Score: 10/10 | Nov 1, 2018
Seven Psychopaths is one of those movies that's too cute by half.
| Oct 31, 2018
An underrated gem.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 31, 2018
It's a film that will leave you puzzled, especially after a rough first half hour, but the more you open your mind to will prove revelatory, entirely engrossing and incredibly funny.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 27, 2018
Watchable as ever, Walken and Rockwell provide two hilarious performances that should keep the audience entertained.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 23, 2018
Seven Psychopaths unspools with clever ease and buffoonish charm. It is effortlessly brilliant and always accessible but more important, it slavishly satisfies the first rule of comedy - make 'em laugh.
| Aug 21, 2018
A less successful picture, mostly because it's more concerned with its winking meta-textual framework than the larger humanistic concerns of his other work.
| Nov 14, 2017
Violence may be served up in copious amounts, but McDonagh also creates characters who have no qualms going gently into that good night.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 25, 2017
