War on Everyone

"Makes a peculiar sort of statement, riffing on such violent genres as Westerns and cop movies, even as it questions why the country puts guns (and badges) into the hands of angry misfits."

"The era-defying costumes, the old fashioned cars, the funk-music score, and retro horizontal wipes and canted angles all give War on Everyone a place outside of time that helps some of the more abrasive comedy go down smoothly."

"A noisy, funny but fatally glib and self-regarding comedy thriller."

"If the jokes don’t work, it’s just racism for the hell of it, lip-smacking violence directed at whatever stereotype you most despise, and a film that’s no use to anyone."

"There’s fun to be had in the shtick, but the point? It’s missing, presumed dead."

"Pena and Skarsgard are fitfully funny, but you can't help but feel that their characters and their motivations (or lack thereof) are fairly one-dimensional."

"It's just one long tiresome bad cop/worse cop routine..."

"Misfiring buddy-cop comedy is a less than lethal weapon."

"McDonagh — cutting with old-school line-wipes, cranking up the Glen Campbell — is clearly having a blast. The feeling’s contagious."
