SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS [2012]

Martin McDonagh's second feature length, the violent comedy Seven Psychopaths, doesn't set out to receive the critical acclaim In Bruges did but is guaranteed to become a cult classic all on it's own. 
It over-exaggerates the immaturity most of these "hip" crime dramas seem to dwell on and becomes a border-line parody of the genre itself.   It's clever and well-acted enough to not risk becoming overly silly but never takes itself too seriously either.  
Plus...Tom Waits has a feckin' bunny.  What more do you really need?
