3.5/4

John Malkovich guns for Oscar gold alongside Sam Rockwell in a political thriller from Martin McDonagh that goes for the jugular. You’ll laugh. It’ll hurt. It'll stay with you.

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.

Acerbically funny, provocative, irreverent and bittersweet dark comedy with just the right amount of melancholy. Don't be surprised if Wild Horse Nine will be nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actor awards.

A fantastic two-hander spy film that’s much more in the spirit of the director’s first feature, In Bruges
