Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter island by their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi). Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.

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.

5/5

Funny, unsettling and unexpectedly moving, Wild Horse Nine is a confident film that entertains without being shallow and has plenty to say without being preachy.

Wild Horse Nine is deepened by its repetition.

Chris’ journey of reckoning and acceptance is what makes Wild Horse Nine another McDonagh winner.

3.5/4

McDonagh has made another disarmingly funny and sneakily profound film, adding to a career of features that earn our investment with laughs and fine acting from talented performers, and then disquiet us with a sobering dose of emotional reality.

McDonagh’s writing here isn’t as sharp or sorrowful as Inisherin, nor as politically acute [but] there is great chemistry between Malkovich and Rockwell.
