Critics Consensus

War on Everyone boasts just enough dark humor and infectious energy to make this somewhat middling entry from writer-director John Michael McDonagh an entertaining diversion.

The opening sequences of War on Everyone are so furiously fast and funny it's nearly unimaginable that McDonagh can sustain the pace. And yet he does.

Crass, senseless, and relentlessly talky, War on Everyone mostly seems like a movie at war with itself.

McDonagh has made a self-aware, thinking person's dirty cop comedy.

Absolutely unwatchable, it tries so hard to be funny and yet nothing makes sense and the characters feel underdeveloped, the story feels like a tornado of bad ideas and dialogues

The “It” man and associate make this a grind house type movie. Same off beat characters and pace. They make police corruption an art form. A little gutter-like yet totally different and enjoyable! Better than most of the “slop” Enjoy and munch some popcorn!

Both ridiculous and thought-provoking. A great storyline of personal growth and crazy action while not taking itself serious.
