5/5

Funny, unsettling and unexpectedly moving, Wild Horse Nine is a confident film that entertains without being shallow and has plenty to say without being preachy.

Not a single shot or line of dialogue is misplaced in this masterful comedic thriller.

4/5

McDonagh captures all the beauty of the surroundings and the love between Lee and Chris, and then splatters it with blood and hardship, showing not the violence of the carnage, but what eats away at us because we were too callous and cynical to care.

Nobody can dispute that [Martin] McDonagh is a master of insults...his films are littered with characters creatively lambasting one another. Wild Horse Nine happily continues that trend.

4/5

Most of McDonagh's films have had a mean or sad streak buried under their comedy. Wild Horse Nine is a solid balance of both, but it also feels like a strange appreciation of life.
