Gripping story with well-crafted characters
... View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
... View MoreOne of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
... View MoreSeven Psychopaths never quite reaches its full potential. This darkly comedic story has moments of genius, but it peaks early and plateaus for the rest of the movie. The actors look like they're having a good time, though -- Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell play very well off each other. I guess I just expected more from this film.
... View MoreA meta view of film writing and directing that is a bit precious, but the clever writing and wonderful cameo performances just pull you in. My rating of the film kept creeping up as the film went on.
... View MoreI feel this is a movie that when revisited several times, you will see and hear something different each time. Loved Sam Rickwell's Character and the concept of the film is unique.
... View More8.5/10 for clarification.Seven Psychopaths is a gloriously dark, often uproariously laughable crime thriller/comedy that exceeds both the critical and public receptions by considerable margins.It is worth initially noting that Psychopaths is not a picture for the faint of heart, and serves as one of the most apologetically violent and gruesome films I have ever seen. However, the spouts of bloodshed (largely presented in a darkly comedic context)are accomplished and render Psychopaths such a remarkably enthralling experience.Other users of the site have commented glowing endorsements on the performances of the lead roles, and whilst I am (to some extent) inclined to agree with that feedback, I can't dilute my feeling that the performances were trivially lacking.For the vast majority of it's run time, Psychopaths consistently delivers a commendably high quality experience, riddled with enticingly dark humour and quotable dialogue. Despite this, the final chapter pertains to being a little more hollow than it's accompanying section and minutely diminishes the quality of the film as a whole.Without a shadow of a doubt; Psychopaths deserves praise for it's non linear structure which consists of a plethora of plot twists, flashbacks and deviations into the backstories of the numerous "Psychopaths".The picture has on numerous occasions been compared to the films of Quentin Tarantino, and accurately so as both revel in their extended sequences of dialogue, graphic depictions of violence and non linear storytelling elements. I believe it's appropriate to say that the quality of Psychopaths is equivalent to that of Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained (and edges towards Pulp Fiction), though it falls short of the impeccable bar raised by Reservoir Dogs.
