Marty is a drinking writer
with writing problems trying hard to finish a screenplay called Seven Psychopaths.
His best friend, Billy, is involved in a money-making scheme, with partner
Hans, where they kidnap dogs and then bring them back to the owners to collect
the reward. Things go sour, and Marty becomes involve in the mess, when Billy
and Hans kidnap a Shih Tzu owned by a violent gangster.
This is multi-layered dark comedy where we go back-and-forth between the story and the imagined world of one of the characters. As such, it requires quite a bit of focus. Thanks to a well-crafted and intelligent story, some funny lines and a great ensemble cast, this is a very good movie. Things might feel like a mess to understand at times, but, overall, this was an entertaining film. It was also a nice treat to see Tom Waits work again as an actor.
