Wild Horse Nine

15

“Everything I love about McDonagh distilled into a gorgeous, funny, thoughtful buddy-movie-cum-political-satire. Taking place on ‘Easter Island’, seemingly inhabited by more wild horses than people, a magnetic Malkovich dwells on regrets and choices made in his life in the CIA, freely disseminating state secrets along the way. The writing is stellar, and - like McDonagh’s best - it leads with a dark sense of humour, keeping you entertained and enamoured by the on-screen bromance, underscored by a mournfulness and emotional depth expertly conveyed by Rockwell and Malkovich - whose chemistry transcends the screen.”
