An endlessly surprising, very dark, human comedy, with a plot that cannot be foreseen but only relished.Read the full review

Those who know McDonagh's work know a vein of darkness will run deeply through the comedy. It has seldom been darker. Or funnier. He has made a hit-man movie in which you don't know what will happen and can't wait to find out. Every movie should be so cliched.Read the full review

A haunting and hypnotic movie, just the thing to get lost in.Read the full review
