Seven Psychopaths



Have you ever thought of going in a car into a desert with a guy who would like to have a shoot out? Well if your answer is any of the possible nods, you gotta watch this movie. It starts off with a decent EXT-Hollywood written on top of the LA hills. And there are two guys fully armed and about to kill a WOMEN. I have to, have to specially describe about the conversation of the two; one asks to the other about "Do ya know, who got shot in the eyeball?". This instinct says that how settled the director is and the way he is good at what he is.

Technically the movie has a pretty good screenplay that makes you glued to the screen. I can recollect some of the best dialogue writers(QT). The story just unfolds on telling the first Psychopath with the first scene. A struggling story writer, Martin ( played by Colin Farell) wishes to write a different story, which has all the gory psychopaths but does end with a peace making one in the end. As the movie goes on the different psychopaths unfold letting us how everyone is inter connected. With the initial one who's in the disguised form, the title of the movie appears(I gotta say the titles have a special place, which you would know right in the end of the movie).

There is a crazy friend, Billy (played by Sam Rockwell) of Martin , who kinda kidnaps dogs from wealthy guys with his old ally Hans (played by Christopher Walken). As Martin tries to write up a story of all the seven psychopaths, he comes across first one... Who's the Jack of diamonds from the first scene. Billy crazily gives an ad in a newspaper about the story saying "Share your weird story, we'll make that into a movie". With a resurrecting lover, a guy joins the list with his lover which makes 3. Meanwhile Billy and Hans come kidnap a dog from the local don . And the rest of the story is all about how these people are getting connected and how craziness leads people into psychopaths.

All you gotta look out in this story was the way the screen-play was handled. As I said earlier, somewhere in your sub-conscious mind you'd compare it with Quentin Tarantino's work. I hope the movie goes well at all the award functions.

Bottom-line: A bagful of surprises.

That's all folks,
