Seven Psychopaths - Movie Review by Chris Stuckmann

[@Ivan-xy9vg]

This movie is very underrated. I don't know why it's underrated but I loved this movie.

[@bigkj2.027]

[@joshuapatrick682]

Sam Rockwell is the best actor of his generation in terms of ability...I have never seen an actor so effortlessly melt in to different characters like him since Gary Oldman.

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

Yes, he definitely has that Gary Oldman quality to him. Joaquin is a powerful actor but he ain't as varied as Sam. Still both of them are up there in ability next to the cream of the crop in Hoffman, Oldman, DL or Pacino

[@chanceneck8072]

Great point! However on that note, I really love Hugh Jackman, Edward Norton, Brad Dourif and my favorite, Robert Downey Jr........ Oh, and let´s not forget Henry Thomas.........

[@chanceneck8072]

@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 Joaquin ain´t as varied as Sam, that´s absolutely right. But I´d say, his nuances are stronger...........

[@christofferjenzen78]

Benicio is just as good. Hoffman and Ruffalo also that good.

[@MultiZoggy]

If you enjoyed this movie I highly recommend In Bruges written and directed by the same guy who did this. In my opinion it's an hilariously funny movie just with abut more heart than Seven Psychopaths.

[@harrysmith5340]

I also recommend Calvary and The Guard, directed by the brother of the director of Seven Psychopaths. In my opinion, the guard is funnier and the screenplay of Calvary is better than Pulp Fiction. Both 10/10

[@xMsry7]

Harry Smith Yeah no they're not as good tbh

[@fenomozo9108]

In Bruges is even better

[@FrancoisDressler]

xMsry7 Calvary is absolutely just as good.

[@BCS1105]

Harry Smith HARD disagree on the script to Calvary & The Guard being better than Pulp fucking Fiction.

Chris Stuckman: Sam Rockwell in this movie blew me away. This is probably the best performance I've ever seen from him actually. I really honestly think it is his best performance. MOON MOON MOON MOON MOON MOON. Haven't you seen Moon, Stuckman. That's Rockwell's best performance.

[@Fingersofjoy]

I reckon wild bill in the green mile was his best.

[@clarence9379]

@@Fingersofjoyhe did well in that performance for the material given. But in terms of fleshed out and layered performances, moon absolutely takes the cake.

[@7Rabuja]

he did say "the director that did In Bruges, also very good"

[@MrStimpson38]

This is one of the greatest films of all time. That's a bold statement, so I'll elaborate. 1) It makes you feel damn near every emotion throughout its runtime. Laughs, sadness, tension, excitement, surprise. The list goes on. 2) It has a star-studded cast that give memorable performances, with memorable duologue. 3) The cinematography in this film is beautiful. Everything from simple shots like the opening scene, all the way to the finally. It's all shot through the lense of intelligent camera positioning. Leading your eyes around, or letting them wander. 4) The idea of the film is pretty unique, and handled well. 5) Plot twists! I'm intentionally staying vague about some of these so I don't spoil anything, but in my honest opinion, this is a film worth owning and viewing multiple times. Be it for enjoyment by fans, or a study for up-and-coming film developers. This movie has a little bit for everyone.

[@BingoNamo-gb8pz]

Hmmm you make a compelling argument.

[@ScooterSkillsYolo]

This film is so stupidly underrated

[@Mediamonsta95]

If you liked this, watch In Bruges, same director and it's one of the best films I have ever seen

[@Kasino80]

Have to agree with you Chris. Just watched it and it had me in tears from laughing. Rockwell is amazing in it. And I actually think Farrel was better ib this sort of role as the bystander instead of the hero.

[@JoJoJoker]

Just watched this for the first time. In Bruges is one of my favorite films and I enjoyed seeing Three Billboards this weekend so figured lets check it out. Did not disappoint! Loved the reuse of the Vietnam, fat black girl and drunk Irishman jokes from In Bruges.

[@bejarny8636]

i loved this film. didnt think chris had done a review for it

[@Paperbagman555]

Great movie, very well written and the ending was fantastic. But I still prefer In Bruges - I just found its pace smoother, the scenes were quotable and more memorable. Martin McDonagh is definitely a rising star though.

[@andresbv18]

Christopher Walken actually worked with Mcdonaugh on a play called A Behanding in Spookane which was awesome! His plays are always really funny and really violent. My favorite work of his, however is The Pillowman. I literally couldn't breath after watching that. I definitely recommend seeking it out if it's playing in a local community theater or whatever. If not, just buy the script. It's so freakin amazing.

[@JahlisMan]

Chris, and what about Tom Waits' performance? I'm a big fan of his music and of all of his works actually. Can you give your two cents 'bout him?

[@07foxmulder]

Moon was great, but I still think that Matchstick Men and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind are his best roles. Either way, Rockwell is one of the most under appreciated actors out there.

[@ColynKirkland]

I guess I'll be pulling a double feature next week with Argo and Seven Psychopaths =D

[@TheEasyRider1212]

did you have to create an account to watch it? i've already seen it but want to again and its not in theaters any more.

[@GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend]

Man, this is actually really frustrating... I've been a huge Martin McDonagh fan since even before In Bruges came out, I think he's an actual genius - everyone loves Seven Psychopaths and I legitimately cannot stand it. I don't know if it's the fact that Martin wrote the main character as a screenwriter named Marty (writer-ception?) which I guess most viewers wouldn't realize... or because I was aware of his love for Tarantino and it just feels forcedly-so Tarantino-esque compared to his other work...

[@HussainAl--Khalil]

where do you get your posters from?

[@20th_century_Ghost]

7 Psychopaths is one of my favorite films of all time.

[@ShlomoMetzenbaum]

Chris I dont know if you have explained it before but what does a movie have to do to get an A+ ? You seemed to be blown away by this movie and it just got an A... can you tell me any movies that you have given an A+

[@MasterPpv]

Top 5 for me for the rest of the year that I want to see, in no particular order: Perks of Being a Wallflower Skyfall Cloud Atlas Looper The Hobbit

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

He knows he's too great for the public XD BUT DON'T FORGET THE GREEN MILE, he was terrifying in that.

[@LiLxWEiRD0x]

I've always loved Sam Rockwell as an actor. I think he could lead any kind of movie if given the chance instead of always playing a villian or a villianous type character. Moon is easily his best performance though. Definitely a must see.

[@tbirum]

The only thing I can think about this review is. This review was made before he upped his Grade scale to include A+ Movies. He raved about this movie all throughout his review and did not have one single negative thing to say about it yet it did not get the Coveted A+ Score.

[@TheBluntNinja]

No idea how I missed this film considering I was a huge fan of McDonagh from his stage plays back when I was in college 07-11. In Bruges is one of my favorite films so it's astonishing I never even heard of this until recently.

[@douguk2]

When I watched this movie it immediately jumped to my top 10. It is one of my favorite movies of all time. So well written and directed, so many good scenes. The only problem is that the director like to take big vacations, so we are not seeing more of him for a while. Bad luck, but worth the wait.

[@AnonymousAnimus]

I am really looking forward to this one ^.^ Can I ask you a question? Have you seen Dark City? And if so, could you do a video sharing your opinions about the film?

[@TheVoltaire1]

SPOILERS!! I noticed something clever: Colin Farell's characters name is Marty and he is writing a movie called Seven Psychopaths...The film's director is MARTIN Mcdonagh and he wrote the movie that we are seeing. In the end, for like 2 seconds, you can see Marty pile his finished screenplay and in the bottom it said "Martin Mc******" You dont get to see the full name...but did you guys catch this? My loved the movie a little bit more after that moment :)

[@OneForTwoFilms]

i think rockwells performance in moon was incredible? have u seen tht chris?

[@ascortjkk]

I can't decide whether Sam Rockwell is better in Moon or Seven Psychopaths

[@delfra70]

I've seen the trailer on this film and it definintly has my attention and has me interested. I've been heavy in theaters this summer and slowed down in the fall so far, but that's about to change and this is one of those films i plan on catching.

[@e1000oak]

In Bruges is one of the best movies I've ever seen, so I wanted to like this more. It was good most of the way but then fell apart in about the last 25 minutes. It's one of those films that was ruined by a weak 3rd act, IMO, though it gets extra points for being a movie about writing movies.

[@e1000oak]

Agreed, I never even heard of it before, just caught it on Encore. Crackling dialogue. I wasn't surprised to discover Martin McDonagh's brother made it.

[@hollywoodtre6098]

I didn't know it was supposed to be dark comedy I only laughed twice. But Sam Rockwell was great

[@danielfindura2569]

Was it funny the second time around?

[@Stortung]

How about sam's performance in Moon?

[@sjirving]

Just watched this movie. So refreshing. as a film student i'm always watching films. and this was the first time i've actually legitimately laughed out loud in a movie all year.

[@TheUnderground41]

I have to agree! The movie is fuckn awesome!

[@joeldunsdon6718]

Sam Rockwell is a great actor. Moon is my favourite of his films and one of my favourite sci-fi films in general, but this comes very close.

[@dragonflyinmyroom]

Also anyone who likes black/dark comedies, I recommend this movies (all Danish - they have one of the best d. comedies): - Adam's apples (Adams æbler - with Mads Mikkelsen:), - The Green Butchers (also Mads), - In China they eat dogs (1 and 2)

[@McErnster]

LOVED THIS MOVIE. Very Tarantinoesque in a sense but I was kind of disappointed by the ending, I just wish it had more closure. And Zacharia is a funny dude...

[@GabnDad]

The trailer showed before Looper, and I literally could not stop from shouting out to the packed theatre YOU HAVE TO SEE THAT MOVIE IT'S AWESOME.

[@MysticSpoonAttack]

Chris if you love 'Seven Psychopaths' then definitely check out 'Snatch.' starring Brad Pitt, Benicio del Toro and Jason Statham. Great, hilarious dialogue and it has Brad Pitt funniest performance. Highly recommended.

[@sfighter991]

Seen TV Spots for this movie with Christopher Walken standing in front of a gun. So Badass.

[@AlexBrooksFilms]

i haven't seen that yet, but i like him in galaxy quest as guy haha

[@AlexandreWarners]

Sam Rockwell's best performance? Have you seen Moon?

[@serugolino7867]

i have a theory that the main charectare is the director himself like his name is martin and at the end he picks up his screenplay and the last letters of his last name were agh so yeah

[@Nandos_33]

Nice review Chris :) But I think my favourite performance by Sam Rockwell would be "Moon"

[@roadrunneruntd]

Hey Chris you should check out the script for Mcdonagh's play The Pillowman.It is such a great read.Seriously get it ! He is a fantastic writer/director

[@ipodtoucher15]

dumb question, did you not hear him say these two movies have the same director and in bruges was also a good movie?

[@Mw2Mayhem]

chris, review all of kevin smiths films e.g. clerks, clerks 2, jay and silent bob strike back, dogma and mallrats

[@MaffmanJones]

Saw it last week and the more I think about it, the more I love it...despite walking out with a good but not amazing emotional response.Maybe some Oscar attention perhaps?

[@icoulddothisallday6016]

you forgot: "blinkende lygter" I don't know what it is called in english, but that is probably the best dark comedy that has ever been made in denmark.

[@WordUnheard]

I thought he was excellent in both The Green Mile and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Also, Galaxy Quest. Hell I love the guy in everything!

[@BIGBABYSWEETS1101]

hey chris can you review "in bruge" ik you had twins and you must be busy and congratulations but please do if you can

[@Up_wa_rd]

I'd give it a B. It's fine, Rockwell's acting is splendid. However, I thought there were too many "A list actors" in this movie stealing the show from each other. For multiple periods it was also kind of draggy...

[@Solarstar10]

I loved this movie even more than in bruges which i also loved. I though the character chemistry in seven psychopaths was much better than the characters chemistry in 'in bruges'. However i don't know how this got a 15 rating it's almost as violent as a Tarantino film.

[@TheLunaticPenguin]

@ChrisStuckmann Have you seen 'Moon'? It is definitely Sam Rockwell's best movie.

just saw in Bruge seven psychopaths and wonder women in the same week. both are better than wonder women. why? plz.reply stuckmann it would be a great honor.

[@danc5644]

Im no fan of Sam Rockwell, but this in this movie he was absolutely hilarious. He just fit so well into the role.

[@fishinwithguns]

He was alright, I wouldn't say rubbish, but the movie doesn't make him the focal point either. His character really takes a backseat to all the psychopaths. Walken, Rockwell, Harrelson, etc. all steal the show, Farrell is kinda just there...which may be the point, I dunno. He was great as the lead in In Bruges where his character had more of an arc, here he's just really a bystander mostly, honestly I think it boils down to whether you already hate him or not. But he can be good at times.

[@dragonflyinmyroom]

Haha, well I'm not actually Danish :) I just like a lot of Danish films... Had to Google this one - English title is Flickering Lights and it turns out I gave it 6 out of 10 stars on IMDb :)

[@y05077]

I watched this movie and was extremely disapointed. One of the worst comedies I have seen in a while. Here is why, I don't mean to sound like an old man living in the past, people swear. I'm fine with that, but when it gets to the point of there has to be a fuck every 2 lines or we're not doing it right, that's just stupid. It just makes every character look idiotic in the worst way possible. I thought this was a fine example of how low the bar is set when this is considered amazing.

[@shadow80y]

I'm guessing you've never seen Moon, Sam Rockwell's actual best performance.
