Dirty Cops - War on Everyone

What to Know

Critics Consensus

War on Everyone boasts just enough dark humor and infectious energy to make this somewhat middling entry from writer-director John Michael McDonagh an entertaining diversion.

Thelma Adams Vanity Fair The opening sequences of War on Everyone are so furiously fast and funny it's nearly unimaginable that McDonagh can sustain the pace. And yet he does. Jan 9, 2019 Full Review David Sexton London Evening Standard This is a really bad cop movie, maybe the funniest ever. Rated: 4/5 Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly Crass, senseless, and relentlessly talky, War on Everyone mostly seems like a movie at war with itself. Rated: C+ Feb 3, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review McDonagh has made a self-aware, thinking person's dirty cop comedy. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut About two corrupt policemen and the mess they get into when they take their bribery down a new direction. Rated: 4/5 Jan 27, 2021 Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo Planet S Magazine War on Everyone provides the most bang for your back next to recent entries in the genre.

james g Love this movie whenever feeling down watch it all the time very creative and love the scenery and the art the car Monte Carlo the two actors chemistry is wonderful wish they would do a part two or at least have these two guys work together and more off the Wall films like this love it will always love it love the soundtrack to tractor and writer and actors to me where a terrific a much watch for anyone feeling down or just wanting to have a laugh the movie delivers thank you for making this movie and thanks the Stars that you picked the whole crew made the movie and the landscape I can't say enough about it thank you Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Nate R It's not bad, definitely not the directors best, but still head and shoulders above most cop buddy flicks. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Mike S Overall I'd say 4 stars..There were some absolutely HYSTERICAL parts of this movie that had me nearly crying, but there were also some slow and not so great joke parts..All in all it was good, but plot wise it just never really congealed into a great story or anything..It's almost like a bunch of dark sketch humor strung into a full length movie, that just kind of misses the mark of fully coming together. Id recommend watching though, I def laughed my a$$ off in some places, and all the actors I thought did a great job and were very well cast - and the characters were all very funny alone Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Webb V A light-hearted romp through the world of two Albuquerque New Mexico police detectives as they deal crime in their own particular fashion. Highly recommended for LWO's as it provides insightful training that is often difficult to obtain on the job. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review John E Much underated unique Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review Ray W This movie hits on all 4cylinders of its 8 cylinder 1970 Monte Carlo Coupe V8. It is built that way! Like a new car modeled after the original Mel Brooke's classic satirical movie tropes found in Blazzing Saddles or Young Frankenstein, it's a slap and a prat fall of a movie, sadly with only 3 wheels. Other reviewers may miss the fact this is a pre pandemic comedy that was made for big theaters where the energy of laughter is contagious. What may seem an excruciatingly long pause, is actually meant to give timing to laughter to a large audience. Two actors who feed off each other while maintaining stoic personalities, seems impossible- but Michael Peña and Alexander Johan Hjalmar Skarsgård pull it off. Once you BLINDLY, a must for a gaslighting film, accept the premise, the rest of this movie rolls off like a tasty mime on top of a car's windshield time after time again.. the script issue is no teal story to follow. Great concept that seems written by a committee of Episcopalians. One final note, for the those feelings are hurt and we need to cancel this movie because it makes fun of this or that ... blah, blah, blah ... get out of your parent's basement, look around, we could all use a much needed, good laugh....at YOU standing in the street asking whats so funny. The downside is the directing misses many marks on timing and the music is ill conceives. The script at times tries to hard. The language, again, unenessary. Had it been reserved for an ocassional shock, it might have worked. This movie is on ROKU or Prime Video. Huzzah! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
