Synopsis: Terry Monroe (Skarsgård) and Bob Bolaño (Peña) are two corrupt cops in New Mexico set out to blackmail and frame every criminal unfortunate enough to cross their path. Things take a sinister turn, however, when they try to intimidate someone (James) who is more powerful than the usual small gangsters.
Review: The talent of the director McDonagh is in the spirit of the movie including a lot of off-the-wall humour, by inverting the roles of cops and gangsters. This way it shows a kind of decadence of gangsters, a kind of latent corruption and misbehaviour of the cops. The story itself is actually quite boring.  The acting is rough and Skarsgård plays as in Tarzan, extremely bad, always walking like a gorilla for no reason for his role.  I hope that McDonagh will stops this evolution and get back to his really good creativity and humour he had shown for Calvary and The guard. For these movies, the actors were excellent and this might be a part of the difference.
