Synopsis
Martin is a jaded, alcoholic screenwriter, struggling with his latest work: a crime thriller entitled Seven Psychopaths, which he’d rather contemplated peace and love rather than just mindless violence. When his wayward best friend Billy steals the beloved dog of a ruthless gangster, Martin’s life suddenly becomes a bullet-strewn adventure just like the movies he’d rather not be writing. In his first Hollywood production, McDonagh steers headlong into a post-Tarantino world of fast-talking, larger-than-life criminals, effortlessly imbuing them with his own unique worldview and devilish sense of humour.
