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.

4/5

Wild Horse Nine doesn’t stray too far from Martin McDonagh’s wheelhouse but it’s a glorious place to visit, uproariously funny and quietly moving. Malkovich and Rockwell make a double act for the ages.

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.

Wild Horse Nine is deepened by its repetition.

4.5/5

It might not sound like the most immediately gripping set-up, but McDonagh makes another excellent watch with his trademark humour, a terrific performance from Malkovich and a surprising amount of heart beneath the laughs.

Wild Horse Nine has everything a McDonagh fan—or most movie lovers—could want: witty dialogue, pitch-black humor, entertaining action, unforgettable performances, and a story that balances laugh-out-loud comedy with emotional and philosophical depth.

6/10

Despite all of the humor and the engaging characters, this subject matter is hardly new; virtually everything here has been explored before, and by McDonagh himself.
