Synopsis: -
Review: The story is very original and the cut is very well done. Even if Colin Farrell's role is again quite boring, both Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken have good roles and play them very well. The story telling to come to the number 7 and explain the title of the movie is also a good point. After In Bruges, it is another good writer and director that is getting better, Martin McDonagh. 
Rating: 7 /10

  1. The screenplay is quite original and the movie well made but I was expecting to laugh more. Rockwell and especially Harrelson are very funny. With their crazy eyes you can never know what they will do! Farrell is unfortunately more in Total Recall mode that in Horrible Bosses mode. Walken confirms (if needed be) that he is a truly great actor. But I found in the story too many gaps, changes of pace and not-so-funny scenes.
