Marty (Colin Farrell) is an alcoholic screenwriter with writer's
block trying to write his latest screenplay called Seven Psychopaths. His dog kidnapping friend (Sam Rockwell) tries
to spur ideas for Marty's screenplay by telling stories about psychopaths and inviting psychopaths to stop by with their stories.
Soon, Marty's friend steals the wrong dog and the dog's owner is a psychopath gangster (Woody Harrelson). Marty,
his friend, and another dog kidnapper (played with much charm by Christopher Walken who probably could just read the phone
book and still entertain) are on the run with the kidnapped dog out into the desert. SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS is a charming
and entertaining black comedy with some good locations. It manages to be dark and yet so funny especially the bit about
the Vietnamese Priest psychopath.
