Seven Psychopaths is supposedly a British crime comedy. But it is set entirely in Hollywood and has a mostly American cast... plus Colin Farrell, who is Irish. So I'm not sure what Film4 and the BFI were doing funding it.
The film's construction is just as confusing. I didn't find it particularly funny, so I wouldn't class it as a comedy. I suppose there are crimes involved, but I wouldn't call it a crime movie. I don't know what it is, because it isn't really much of anything.
Colin Farrell is unconvincing as a drunk screenwriter. Christopher Walken is wooden. Only Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson make the best of the bad parts they have been written.
Overall, pretty much a waste of time.
