This film was great. The first ten minutes were a bit rude and outrageous and was expecting it to go down like Sin City. But no, the women add philosophy and hilarity and from there it's an hilarious brutal ride. The acting is not psychopathic at all like Sin City. The acting is sensitive and real. This film is more like Bad Lieutenant, an hellish ride with crazy-braves and sillyness. Bravo! Encore!

I enjoyed this movie, even if it wasn't meant to be the second coming of the Lethal Weapon. This was supposed to be a philosophical movie, but since such movies get Oscar and then end up with no one watching them, they thought to make the heroes cops. There is a lot of subtext to the movie. One of the cops is a family man, while the other is a drunkard who never goes to bed sober. The first seems to live a happy family life, while the second drinks out of despair. They seem to be completely amoral, robbing robbers, beating up suspects, and... completely neglecting the paperwork. Or, that's one way to see it. The other way is that they only care about what matters, their own lives, freedom, their families and friends. They appear not to give a damn about their assigned role in society, and the movie send the message that neither should we. And if we have second thoughts, we should know that those above us, that we protect by doing our duty, don't care either. That, I think was the metaphor with the English lord. Apart from the subtext, the movie has many cool moments, and great music. It also has the feeling of a seventies movie. Since it's a movie about freedom, I guess it has to feel like that.

Two corrupt cops set out to blackmail and frame every criminal unfortunate enough to cross their path. Events, however, are complicated by the arrival of someone who appears to be even more dangerous than they are. War on Everyone is a film that started so promising and was funny for a while but once it started with the racist jokes, the mediocre and awful villains don't help either and the movie after a while it gets boring and it repeats the same old jokes time and time again and even the 2 main anti-heroes get boring. The soundtrack is alright and somewhere about 15 minutes into the film i was entertained but after that it turned into a cheesy buddy comedy that tried so hard..

Back in 2014, U.K based director John Michael McDonagh gave us Calvary.A follow-up to his well-regarded, if little seen dark comedy The Guard, Calvary saw McDonagh reteaming with his leading man Brendan Gleeson to deliver a refreshingly unique and utterly captivating experience that had many justifiably excited for what the promising director would dish up next.Taking his time before treating us to his next feature length experience, it's with great disappointment that McDonagh's Calvary follow-up is War on Everyone, a film that wants you to desperately like its politically incorrect and unashamedly seedy "comedic" look at Michael Pena's and Alexander Skarsgard's loose unit police officers Bob Balano and Terry Monroe as they traverse a barely their story of criminals and corrupt cops, filled with Glen Campbell classics, sprinklings of hard-core violence and a script that wishes it was written by Quintin Tarantino.Both The Guard and Calvary found a great balance between dramatic ticks, storyline and comedic moments (most darkly morbid and totally politically incorrect) but War on Everyone never once nails it's convoluted components and it really feels as though McDonagh is clutching at straws in his first Hollywood picture, rather than walking his own beat like he did with his impressive one-two debut films.There are moments within the film where characters ramble about the importance of scripts in films and how they're the making or breaking of what makes a great film so it's clear McDonagh knows the importance of a good script (although he is responsible for writing the 2003 misfire Ned Kelly) and it's something we know his capable of but the failings of War on Everyone are never more evident in how experienced and well regarded actors like Pena and Skarsgard deliver their lines without energy or life as they meander about McDonagh's shady story.Both these characters are neither likable, nor are they interesting enough to make us dislike them, they're just not appealing in general. Perhaps had the film included a story with any form of mystery or villains that steal the show we might've cared more but trying to enliven the film with misguided romantic sub-plots or bizarrely towards the end of proceedings a child exploitation plot device, McDonagh doesn't seem comfortable in his world, a facet that was certainly not the case in his early works.Final Say – If you've ever thought that the idea of two deadbeat cops running down a mime in their patrol car, taking drugs with informants or talking about cinematic auteur Steven Soderbergh is the stuff of movie magic then the War on Everyone might just be your new favourite comedy but for the rest of us, McDonagh's extremely disappointing and criminally unfunny film is cause for concern for a filmmaker that has the talent to be anything, both great or bad.1 Icelandic getaway out of 5
