Thoroughly entertaining! Seven Psychopaths is essentially about Marty (Colin Farrell) trying to write a screenplay of the same name. It is helariously funny at times. Not surprisingly, there's lots of blood and dead bodies...LOTS. Some parts were sad and if you're in the right mood, you will conclude that this, seemingly superficial movie, actually has a deeper message. The great part about it is that if you don't want to analyze it that far, you don't have to. You can just take what they're showing and be entertained.
The fast pace from the beginning doesn't sustain throughout the movie. Few times I found myself sighing at the lack of progress, but there's just enough humor to hold you over till the end.
The biggest downer of this movie is Colin Farrell. His Irish accent is at times indistinguishable, but that isn't even comparable to his lack of connection to the audience and his co-stars.
Christopher Walken as Hans is so incredibly funny and heartfelt. I can't even describe what a terrific performance it is. Walken alone is worth watching!
Throughout the movie, there are many stories within the story, so you do have to pay attention. There were also a couple of interesting twists. The movie took a semi-hard turn about half way and there was a slight disconnect between the two halves, but overall it makes sense and pretty much comes together at the end.
On a scale of 1-10, Seven Psychopaths: 8.5
Perfomance distinction for Christopher Walken as Hans: highly underrated.
