Customer Ratings & Reviews

Funny movie with lots of action. Nice mix of actors.

Absurd, unrealistic, abd totally off the wall best describes the comedy-drama mayhem, Seven Psychopaths. With a cast of great actors in performances that outdo the other, one is never bored, and what fun to expect the next surprise, which is film is full of them for certain. Nothing ever makes real sense, but who cares, since this grisly comedy drama delights by making every effort to entertain you and satisfy your taste for the criminally insane.

Christopher Walken. Woody Harrelson. You would think that would be enough. But no. There are many other good actors in this movie but too many to name. This movie is a lot of action from beginning to end. And for 599 well worth it. Thank you Best Buy.

This film ranks among those of Quentin Tarantino. Bloody,quirky, and funny. Christopher Walken shines as always, and Sam Rockwell Blazes. Great film if these are the ingredients you crave.

Not sure how to describe this movie. There's a lot of great actors in this. It gives chuckles. If you like murder mysteries, this ones for you. It's one of a kind.

Christopher and Woody steal the show with the characters they play. The plot is original, but mostly stayed for the actors performances.

This movie has just the right amount of hilarity to keep some of the heavier moments from bringing you down. It's ridiculous, but you also get invested in the characters and their travails, in spite of - or perhaps because of - it.

Well, they have the title right. I don't know how these people found one another, but they certainly belong on the same list. They all have roles in a screenplay titled "Seven Psychopaths," which is under development by a writer named Marty Faranan, played by Colin Farrell. In Hollywood, "under development" means "all I have is the title." Written and directed by Martin McDonagh ("In Bruges"), this is a delightfully goofy, self-aware movie that knows it is a movie. You've heard of a movie within a movie? I think this is a movie without a movie. Some of it happens to Marty, some of it happens in Marty's imagination, and some of it seems to happen in one category and then invades another. Consider an opening sequence with Michael Stuhlbarg and Michael Pitt, who, on the basis of their conversation, are professional hit men. Or perhaps not very professional, because although they are in a wide-open space, they allow a man in a mask to walk right up and shoot them in the head. Does this really happen? Figure it out for yourself. Marty's best friend is Billy Bickle (Sam Rockwell), and if his last name is the same as the hero in Marty Scorsese's "Taxi Driver," I leave that for you to puzzle out. Eager to help Marty escape from writer's block, Billy suggests a classified ad asking psychopaths to volunteer for interviews. Tom Waits knocks on the door and introduces himself as a serial killer who specializes in killing other serial killers. I forgot to mention that Los Angeles currently has an active serial killer named the Jack of Diamonds killer, who wipes out mobsters. Billy is in business with a man named Hans (Christopher Walken). They're dognappers who nab the beloved pets of well-off citizens, and pick the wrong victim when they snatch Bonny, the only creature on Earth who inspires the slightest affection from the cold-blooded gangster Charlie (Woody Harrelson). Bonny is a Shih Tzu, giving the film countless opportunities to employ the words "Shih Tzu," in which the "t" is sounded. Intermixed with this story line, such as it is, are scenes for Marty's screenplay involving Harry Dean Stanton as a cold-faced, avenging Quaker, which play ever so much like first drafts for earlier versions of this script, not that Harry Dean Stanton isn't always enjoyable. The film's climax takes place in the archetypal desert hills of a B-Western, where Marty, Billy and Hans find themselves hiding out from the relentless Charlie with the Shih Tzu. The logic of this action, which circles around the question of who can be trusted by whom, and for whose reasons, is sort of an elaboration of the elegant geometry in the Mexican Standoff in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." Walken sometimes leans toward self-parody, but here his performance has a delicate, contained strangeness. All of the actors are good, and Farrell wisely allows the showier performances to circle around him. Like any screenwriter — like Tarantino, for example, who is possibly McDonagh's inspiration here — he brings these people into being and stands back in amazement.

There's more character portrayal than violence in this movie of a bunch of thugs and ex-thugs out in the current Southwest. But there's enough gun play for anyone who enjoys gangster or Western movies for that reason.

This movie requires a sense of humor and some thought. Doesn't hurt if your old enough to remember what some of the flashbacks are referring to. Great cast and Chris Walken plays Chris Walken so well!

Offbeat and perversely funny. Not for everyone, but those who appreciate this type of humor will have a great time

Great movie considering the completely different backgrounds of actors, comedy aspect was surprising as well

Great group of actors different personalities quite violent not for young watching strictly adult viewing

This movie makes no sense but the characters in this film are hilarious and it's a wild ride

Character actors are all well done, with an interesting (and sometimes dark humor) story line.

This movie has a great cast that works well together one of the best actor team ups to date.

Solid cast of characters ridiculously funny during the simplest parts

A film that you wouldn't expect to be a good as it turned out to be.

I absolutely love this movie. The relationship and banter between the characters is fun and the situations they get into is insane. Fun watch. Definitely recommended!

If your fan of Christopher Walken you will like this movie.
