Seven Psychopaths is a 2012 British-American black comedy crime film written and directed by Martin McDonagh, starring Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken, Tom Waits, Abbie Cornish, and Olga Kurylenko.Marty Faranan (Farrell) is a struggling screenwriter who's currently attempting to get his latest screenplay (titled Seven Psychopaths) past the title and stuck at the first hurdle of who and what the seven psychopaths are, especially so as he doesn't want it to be a stock Summer Blockbuster thriller about men with guns. Thus, Marty starts hanging out with his best friend and dog-kidnapper Billy Bickle (Rockwell), who does his best to help him out. Unfortunately for Marty, Billy isn't happy enough helping with writing, and attempts to get things moving by putting out a personal ad asking actual psychopaths to contact them.Meanwhile, Billy's partner-in-crime Hans Kieslowski (Walken) soon learns the hard way that a Shih Tzu they recently took named Bonny belongs to Charlie Costello (Harrelson), an excessively-violent, short-tempered gangster with a rather creepy obsession with his dog. Naturally, things soon go to Hell very quickly and Marty soon finds himself trapped in a very difficult (albeit script-inspiring) situation and surrounded by several psychopaths.Released in the United States on October 12, 2012, the film received strong praise from both critics and the public, like its predecessor. | |

Your Head Asplode: In Billy's proposed ending, this happens to Charlie. Lampshaded by Hans and Marty. Also a nice bit of Self-Deprecation and Mythology Gag towards McDonagh's In Bruges. | |

The Sociopath: The overwhelming majority of the titular Seven Psychopaths, unsurprisingly. The Quaker is one of the more ethical, while Charlie, Zachariah, Maggie, and especially the Jack of Diamonds are outright frightening. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Seven Psychopaths / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers go into little detail on the screenwriting plot, choosing instead to focus on the dognapping subplot. This probably confused a lot of filmgoers who were expecting a much lighter comedy. Also there's that whole matter of portraying Christopher Walken killing a bunch of folk, despite the fact that he's actually a pacifist who doesn't kill a single person outside of the imagination scene from the screenplay. | |

Genre Deconstruction | |
| Seven Psychopaths / int_23e32a30 | comment |
Genre Deconstruction: Occasional. At one point, Hans flat out refuses to put his hands up during a stick up, to which the mook points out it doesn't make any sense. At one point Billy helps to write a shootout scene for Marty's script; not only do Marty and Hans point out that nobody would trust a villain to come alone, nobody ever expects him to be unarmed either. In the real life ending, however, Charlie actually comes alone and unarmed simply because they told him to. Ultimately reconstructed in this instance since while Charlie only brings a flare-gun with him to the initial shootout, his plan was evidently to fire the flare at some point to signal his mooks (who were armed). Billy also tips Marty that, even in the most violent of movie genres, it's always fine to kill off women but you can't even harm animals. | |

Non-Indicative Name: There are only six "psychopaths" in the film. Billy is counted twice. Although you could arguably count Myra as the 7th, since she participated in the same scheme that gets Hans labelled a psychopath. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: All of the other characters, including the murderous psychopaths, are appalled by Marty's drinking problem. One scene even has Hans, a man pursued by serial killers and high from Peyote abuse, criticizing Marty's use of alcohol: And later: Zachariah calls Marty at the end to tell him he is going to kill Marty for not putting his name in the credits like he was supposed to. When Marty responds with resigned acceptance, Zachariah seems to realize something happened and decides to let him live. | |

Face Death with Dignity: Hans' wife in the hospital when cornered by Charlie. Hans also tells Marty to "have some faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior" and resist interrogation when Charlie's mooks have them at gunpoint. Hans himself, when threatened by Charlie's Mooks, refuses to comply with their demands at all, causing them to become utterly flabbergasted. He eventually pretends to pull a gun on them, causing them to shoot him | |

| Seven Psychopaths / int_57c004fc | comment |
Threat Backfire: Early in the film, one of the psychopaths Marty interviewed for research (Zachariah) threatens Marty that if he doesn't add a secret message for Zachariah's girlfriend, he will kill him. In the film's epilogue, he calls Marty to point that he broke his promise and warns him that he feels bound to carry out his threat in turn, but Marty is so fed up with life after everything he went through during the course of the story that doesn't really do he anything to defend himself. Zachariah for his part eventually notices Marty's depression, apologizes, hangs up, and resolves to leave Marty alone. | |

Fake-Out Fade-Out | |
| Seven Psychopaths / int_5b2e1e5e | comment |
Fake-Out Fade-Out: The movie starts to fade to credits as Marty finishes his screen play and happy music plays, only for the film to continue in a matter of seconds with Zachariah reminding Marty that he forgot his message to Maggie in the credits and he was going to kill him. Marty responds with weak acceptance. Zachariah notices his tone and seems to decide to spare him. | |

Hair-Trigger Temper: Charlie when it comes to his dog, Bonnie. Granted, he is a psychopath, but when his dog walker loses his Shih Tzu, he has her hunted down, tied to a chair, and then starts threatening to murder her. He does settle for shooting the wall behind her when she's found innocent, however. | |

Covers Always Lie: Several promo materials label non-psychopathic characters as one of the seven psychopaths simply because they're notable/recognizable actors. In actuality, Angela, Kaya and Marty aren't any of the numbered psychopaths, and the poster obviously ignores the twist that the first and the seventh are the same person. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality: There are very few 'good' guys, just people who are not as bad as the others. The heroes, after all, kidnap dogs and scam their owners. Marty is pretty White, not being involved in the dog kidnapping and clearly disapproving of it, as well as being an Actual Pacifist. The worst thing about him is that he's The Alcoholic and is not very nice to his girlfriend | |

Foreshadowing: From the point where Hans, Billy and Marty are all in the car, everything they say about what should happen in their screenplay happens in the film, from the main characters "just sitting around talking" to the details and location of the "big shootout." When Billy tells Martin about the Quaker Psychopath, he mentions that he heard the story from a friend. And in Hans' first scene with Myra, they mention having lost a child. There's several hints to the identity of the Quaker Psychopath prior to its unveiling: Billy mentions the reason Hans is holding up is that he's christian, Hans' scar on his neck from his botched suicide. He does not drink. His first action after his wife's death is to stare down her killer to creep him out. | |

Better than a Bare Bulb: Being a film about writing a script, tropes are lampshaded, discussed and deconstructed rather often. This becomes more apparent as it gets further into the film, as Marty talks more about his work with Hans and Billy, they make more suggestions (which include common tropes). | |

Shout-Out | |
| Seven Psychopaths / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The two hitmen in the beginning are talking about a scene from The Godfather, specifically the Trope Namer for the Moe Greene Special. There's no way Billy Bickle's surname isn't a reference to Taxi Driver, especially since we first hear it during his Mirror Monologue. The opening scene features two ‘’Boardwalk Empire’’ alumni. Michael Pitt portrayed Jimmy Darmody: in the series, his wife was named Angela (the same name as his intended victim in the film) and his son’s name was Tommy (the name of his partner in the film). Both characters are killed by a gunshot through the cheek. | |

Morality Pet: Bonnie is a literal one for Charlie. Zachariah's rabbit. Though he makes it quite clear it won't necessarily keep him from killing Marty. | |

Anti-Climax | |
| Seven Psychopaths / int_eeb4a5eb | comment |
Anti-Climax: Zigzagged when it comes to the final shootout. Billy called Charlie to come pick up his dog, and Billy makes Charlie promise he'll come alone and unarmed. But Billy is fully expecting him to do neither of these things. So then when Charlie does come alone and unarmed, Billy is pretty angry about it. However we soon realize Charlie did come with people right behind him. So then we briefly get a shoot out, but then the ending still ends up being anti-climactic, because when Billy tries to pull a suicide by villain the villain's gun jams. They talk some more and the villain tries again and his gun jams again. They talk some more and finally Charlie shoots Billy. | |

Afterlife Avenger | |
| Seven Psychopaths / int_ef40d8e3 | comment |
Afterlife Avenger: Billy Bickle recounts a story about the Quaker Psychopath, who relentlessly hounds the killer of his daughter from a vehicular hit-and-run with a hateful stare and grants him no peace, before and after the killer goes to prison undergoes a Faith–Heel Turn. To escape the Quaker's constant Death Glare and constant guilt, the killer is Driven to Suicide. However, before he dies the killer sees the Quaker drawing a razor and slitting his own throat, non-verbally swearing to hound the killer into whatever afterlife he ends up. | |

Brainless Beauty | |
| Seven Psychopaths / int_f26d5e66 | comment |
Brainless Beauty: The Hooker in Martin's first draft comes across as a bit of an airhead. Amusingly, in Hans' rewrite she is turned into an intellectual who studied Vietnamese at Yale. Though even here she is turned into a beautiful American woman the Vietnamese monk saw in passing but didn't meet. | |

| Seven Psychopaths / int_f3ff199a | comment |
Missing Trailer Scene: Marty hits the table and shouts "what we should do in real life" emotionally and with rhetorical pauses in the trailer and says the same thing seriously and almost calmly in the movie. | |

Dying Dream | |
| Seven Psychopaths / int_f792bc7b | comment |
Dying Dream: Hans' resolution to the Vietnamese psychopath's story: rather than getting revenge over the My Lai Massacre by attacking American civilians as he's shown doing, the act turns out to be his thoughts of what could have been before he becomes the first Buddhist monk to burn himself to death in protest of the war. | |

Wouldn't Hit a Girl | |
| Seven Psychopaths / int_fc45bac0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Marty is particularly disapproving of the fact that Billy killed a woman. This is foreshadowed in the beginning, when one of the two hitmen asks the other if he's nervous about killing a woman. | |

Pet the Dog: Charlie lets his dog caretaker live after finding out about the scam Billy and Hans run, realizing she wasn't at fault. But only after he scares the hell out of her by firing a shot into the wall, barely missing her head. | |
