Seven Psychopaths ***

A more twisted and Hollywood-centric homage and satire of life in the unreal world of L.A., "Seven Psychopaths" follows a blocked writer (Colin Farrell) and his strange friends in the strange underworld of tinsel town. Christopher Walken is a standout as a small-time crook who makes ends meet by kidnapping dogs and returning them to their well-heeled and grateful owners. Director Martin McDonagh takes up the themes he explored in "In Bruges" to good effect. Creepy, bloody, funny, and weird, "Seven Psychopaths" is a film lovers fevered dream.
