A film with a great story, and an original one at that.
It's a comedy and a thriller, with lots of killing - well, how can you have a film about seven psychopaths without there being lots of psychopathic action?
Colin Farrell plays a screenwriter; Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell play his kooky friends who make their living by kidnapping dogs, then turning them in for the reward money.
Things go pear-shaped when they kidnap the dog of gangster Woody Harrelson.
With people of this caliber in the main roles, it's maybe somewhat of a surprise that Sam Rockwell blows everyone away with his role. He has the best character, the best lines, and he delivers them better than anyone else delivers theirs.
There are some really funny moments, especially during the gratuitously bloody shoot-outs.
The film inescapably covers Tarantino territory, but has a funnier, less sinister feel.
