Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter island by their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi). Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.

As they bounce around the film’s hollow ideological cavern, the jokes ultimately fail to resonate beyond being amusingly arranged words.

Mr. Malkovich’s wickedly entertaining, cynical yet soulful performance is the heart of a surprisingly emotional tour de force from Mr. McDonagh.

4/5

The movie grows soulful, with quivering strings on the soundtrack, the melancholy tropes of a downbeat Western and even the suggestion of fast-track redemption.

7/10

Glaring parallels to In Bruges aside, Wild Horse Nine delivers exactly what one would want from a Martin McDonagh film. He once again showcases an unmatched ability to carefully plant seeds for jokes that take their time to blossom into uproarious laughs.

... much more than a spy film ... tragicomic story about aging, guilt, friendship and the impossible attempt to negotiate with one’s own past.
