Inside this mediocre film there was a really good film struggling to get out.
It had a great cast with Woody Harrelson, Tom Waits, Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell and the weakest of the bunch, Colin Farell. It is a movie about screenwriting where Colin Farell is struggling to come up with his screenplay for which he only has the title 'Seven Psychopaths'. In order for him to complete this filmmaker's journey he will have to meet all seven psychopaths.
I was hoping for better since it is by the guy who gave us In Brugge. There was plenty of good dialogue but it wasn't as clever as 'In Brugge'. It seemed to struggle under the burden of the premise. A lot of the scenes went on too long especially a camp fire scene out in Joshua Tree. But since that was what the writer Colin Farrell wanted the film to do, that is what they did. Despite the objections of Sam Rockwell who objected to that scene being in the screenplay since it sounded deadly dull. And it was. See how Meta the whole thing gets?

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
