Colin Farrell plays Marty, an alcoholic Irish screenwriter who is experiencing writer's block while trying to write his movie about seven psychopaths. This will soon all change as he becomes entangled with his buddy Billy (Rockwell) and Hans (Walken) who are dog nappers who just so happen to dog nap the dog of ruthless gangster Charlie (Harrelson) who will kill anyone that has any connection to stealing his dog. The violence and mayhem that Marty experiences and the various blood drenched stories that he is told by various people soon gives him the material needed for his movie if only he gets to live to film it.
Reel Talk:
OK...right off the rip, this is one weird movie. It has a good all star cast but no real plot to it. It's like an all out meaningless movie that over glorifies violence. It kinda reminded me of Woody Harrelson's 1994 ultra violent movie "Natural Born Killers"(ironic that Harrelson is in this one). With so many people walking around with demented minds I don't think that this film should contribute to giving people more ways to be twisted. It may have even been acceptable if the story made sense but there is no justification that way either. Not even the comedic overtone can mask the stupidity of this crap. This is just a plain pointless, extra violent film. I am the eighth psychopath for sitting thru and watching this movie....LOL. This is definitely one that you can wait to catch on cable.
