After his much lauded and surprisingly brilliant feature debut In
Bruges, writer/director Martin McDonagh delivers a clever, funny, violent
satire about violence in films. It mixes elements of and references
Tarantino, Peckinpah and even Malick, and has much in common with Get
Shorty, Short Cuts and Bowfinger. Witty dialogue, dark
moments, fast paced action, shoot outs and the framework for a bloody revenge
film are set in motion and just as you're about ready to settle in for the usual
proceedings McDonagh shifts gears and heads in a different direction.
