  2. Feb 3, 2017 · War on Everyone. 98 minutes ‧ R ‧ 2017. Glenn Kenny. February 3, 2017. 4 min read. Something terrible must have happened to John Michael McDonagh, the screenwriter and director, after he made “ Calvary.”. That 2014 movie, a darkly comic murder mystery and a relentlessly but purposefully morbid exploration of mortality and faith, made me ...

    War on Everyoneis a film about two corrupt policemen and the mess they get into when they take their bribery down a new direction.

    You know I’ve read another review where the film was described as “the thinking person’s Bad Boys“… I guess because this one isn’t about gratuitous macho posturing and explosions, but careful dialogue and plot. But for me, it came across more as the film-lover’s Bad Boys… There was so much to look at and appreciate about how it was made. I’m talkin...

    Right. Terry and Bob (yes like the Likely Lads) don’t take their jobs seriously; they do just enough policing to keep their career ticking along and put much more effort into extra-curricular activities to up their income. They hear about an upcoming heist from an informant and go sniffing for a fortune. Not going to tell you any more about the plo...

    Prior to War on Everyone, John Michael McDonagh wrote and directed The Guard and Calvary, both in Ireland, and both starred Brendan Gleeson. Well, I can’t comment on his films in general – this is the first I’ve seen of his. Pretty much all the characters in this film say what they think without filters, for sure. But they’re not offensive in a “po...

    Oh some excellent cast, many of whom you’ll have seen before, but may not be able to place… Alexander Skarsgård (Tarzan, True Blood) and Michael Peña (End of Watch) are the two policemen, the good-looking Theo James (Divergent) is the aristocratic big bad, Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok) the former stripper. They were all excellent, but...

    Not exciting as such, but colourful and entertaining throughout, and funny on and off. I laughed out loud several times – unusual for me – and I would happily watch it again for the colourful, careless joy of the film. Yeah, there were serious bits too – some veryserious – so I struggle to accept the comedy label. And a good deal of the violence wa...

    No, indeed! This is a perfect example of mixed reviews… Some critics considered the protagonists shallow and over-the-top; though in my view they had breadth, just not much of it was relevant to the film. Some considered the plot aimless (and I’ve already addressed the “meandering” above)… but to me, it does progress, with a conclusion that shows a...

  6. Jan 31, 2017 · Film Review: War on Everyone. Michael Peña and Alexander Skarsgård entertain in an offensive, unfocused buddy comedy. C. Directed by. John Michael McDonagh. Starring. Tessa Thompson. Theo James. Alexander Skarsgård. Release Year. 2016. Marten Carlson. January 31, 2017 | 12:01am ET.

  7. Feb 3, 2017 · Very good film, good laughs (the payoff when they go overseas to find their informant is brilliant), stylish cinematography. Pena and Skarsgard have great chemistry, and even though they're ****, are extremely likeable. This should be a cult classic within the next few years with any hope.
