Boozy writer Marty (Colin Farrell) is a man in search of a screenplay. He has a catchy title but no story to go along with it. Marty has a couple of oddball buddies, Hans (Christopher Walken) and Billy (Sam Rockwell), who make a living by kidnapping rich people's dogs, then returning them and collecting the reward. However, this time, the fur flies when Hans and Billy kidnap the beloved pooch of a gangster (Woody Harrelson), and Marty uses the ensuing events as fodder for his screenplay.

Jason Bailey Vice 11/14/2017
A less successful picture, mostly because it's more concerned with its winking meta-textual framework than the larger humanistic concerns of his other work. Go to Full Review
Donald Clarke Irish Times 12/07/2012
3/5
At times, the galloping absurdity drifts into off-the-peg comedy gangster cliché. But McDonagh's brilliant way with one-liners always claws back enough ground to stifle any groans. Go to Full Review
David Sexton London Evening Standard 12/07/2012
3/5
There's not much point to a meta-film once the actual film has ceased to grip. Go to Full Review

As one character points out: “This thing’s got layers.” Go to Full Review
Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 12/02/2020
6/10
In its efforts to be thought-provoking and unique, it nearly derails itself by transforming into something less than a whole, sensible project. Go to Full Review

This is a dark, screwball comedy-drama that constantly surprises. Go to Full Review

Jack F @MovieFan111 Dec 9 This movie was soooo boring! I didn't even understand it. I wouldn't watch it again.

See more Logan D Sep 11 A Hollywood writer (Colin Farrell) struggles to create characters for his script, unaware that events will unfold soon to inspire him. I had no idea this was from the director of Banshees! It's a delightful self-mocking, vicious comedy that plays with storytelling itself. It's just the kind of absurdity I enjoy with a very smart script. Farrell is overshadowed by the delicious scene stealing pair of Walken and Rockwell. Definitely one of Walken's best performances. I'm still not sure what to make of Walken and Woody Harrelson's scene together but I found it intense. See more chris o Sep 10 One of my favs, it gets all the emotions. See more Gareth v Aug 9 A smart and quirky crime comedy that’s engaging despite its flaws - well worth a watch for fans of dark humor. See more Brendan N Jun 16 Great cast, and super fun movie.
