Wild Horse Nine is the new movie by Martin McDonagh and stars John Malkovich as Chris an dying CIA operative who goes to the Easter Islands with his friend Lee (Sam Rockwell) in 1973 Chile which is on the verge of a coup against its communist president.
Wild Horse Nine bored me senseless and one reason for that is John Malkovich’s character who just goes on and on and on about everything and after a while I just wanted him to shut the fuck up because I just got so sick of him talking all the time,
Another reason is that I just didn’t find the humour in the film very funny, so much of it felt like people saying “fuck” in a lot of the dialogue and going on and on about things that just didn’t make me laugh but did others I saw the film in the cinema with,
And lastly a lot of the storytelling which is based around a real world event didn’t really feel it was about anything, something I really liked about The Banshees of Inisherin (McDonagh’s previous film) was that it felt like it was about Ireland at its core and the bitter divisions that permeated throughout that country over the decades whereas here you get some nice scenery and endless monologues but it all went nowhere for me,
And so that was Wild Horse Nine and this is a pile of horse poo for me, 1 out of 5.
