movie review - Seven Psychopaths

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2012.10.14

This is an amusing story with a great cast about a struggling writer whose unstable and mercurial friend tries to draw him out. In so doing, he involves the writer in a world of crime and violent exploitation that does indeed involve seven psychopaths.

I enjoyed the tone, dialog, pace, characters, and the story. It certainly won't be for all audience because let's face it psychopaths are inherently off-putting. Recommended.
