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 Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 09/23/2022
3.5/4
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 Allen Almachar The MacGuffin 07/29/2020

JIM D @Demis5432 1d A bunch of egotistical ,narcissist actors all trying to out act each other in every scene! Painfully tiring! See more Chris H @RT60525826 May 20 An unconventional gangster film; although it does contain a few stereotypes, it has a lot of fun with them. Gleefully violent. Sam Rockwell stands out and Christopher Walken also impresses. Look out too for singer Tom Waits. See more Ana F. @RT95078477 May 19 Clever dialogue, Sam Rockwell steals the movie. See more Matt M @RT27359863 Apr 26 Very well written. See more Ben H @RT82900761 Apr 5 Love this film! The cadence keeps you on the edge of your seat in the beginning and then makes you think in the second half! Really beautiful film! See more Dan C @Dandash Mar 30 Great cast! Great story! Great script. Walken and Rockwell steal every scene they are in. Harrelson and Farrell almost keep up and do a commendable job of riding shotgun. Typical McDonagh unexpected twists. Just enjoy the ride. See more Read all reviews
