McDonagh has made a self-aware, thinking person's dirty cop comedy.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 5, 2022

About two corrupt policemen and the mess they get into when they take their bribery down a new direction.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 27, 2021

War on Everyone provides the most bang for your back next to recent entries in the genre.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 5, 2020

Skarsgard and Pena have great timing and an easy rapport that make the plot just a little more interesting.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 12, 2019

Though it takes time for us to adjust to the films unique groove, and at times the tone veers about like the boys' flash car in hot pursuit, the pace never flags.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 5, 2019

There is no tension or surprise, it develops with little grace and stumbling between the commonplace and the politically incorrect joke, easy and very visible. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/10 | May 24, 2019

John Michael McDonagh fails to get anywhere near the heights of his hilarious debut The Guard, in this less-than-palatable buddy-cop movie.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 13, 2019

Interesting but not quite intriguing, War on Everyone manages to dance around classification as a misfire.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 10, 2019

McDonagh succeeds in crafting an unabashed black comedy that refuses to apologize for its actions. It is a film that will no doubt offend many, but will also have audiences laughing despite themselves.

| May 10, 2019

...it's supposed to be mutual attraction, but it feels more like coercion at the start.

| Original Score: C- | May 10, 2019

War on Everyone is glib and overwritten. At times it seems like bad Tarantino, but mostly it just seems bad.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 10, 2019

War On Everyone riffs voraciously on 70s thrillers and, reaching further back, the same kinds of hardboiled detective stories that have long fired Shane Black's imagination.

| May 10, 2019

War on Everyone is more juvenile than McDonagh's previous films but it delivers a ton of laughs and he's pulled out two terrific performances from his lead actors.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 9, 2019

It's really and truly hard to find fault with the film as everything it wants to be and do is achieved superbly and to the quality we have come to expect from McDonough's unique and absorbing voice.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 9, 2019

Skarsgård and Peña have excellent chemistry, both playing their roles with the perfect balance of seriousness and irony.

| May 9, 2019

Skarsgård's intense anger dominates the film. He's a revelation.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 9, 2019

Although outwardly disappointing, it's not the case that War on Everyone is a total write-off.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 15, 2019

The opening sequences of War on Everyone are so furiously fast and funny it's nearly unimaginable that McDonagh can sustain the pace. And yet he does.

| Jan 9, 2019

War on Everyone seems mainly to be at war with its place in time, unsure if it's a 90's comic-thriller throwback, or a 70s cop show, borrowing elements from both which start out fun, but eventually drain the viewer.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2018

A nonstop assault on social conscience.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 5, 2018
