His partner- in- crime is Hans Kieslowski (Walken), a religious man with a cancer- stricken wife, Myra. Billy helps Marty with Seven Psychopaths, suggesting he use the "Jack of Diamonds" killer, perpetrator of a recent double murder, as one of the seven "psychopaths" in his script. Marty writes a story for another psychopath, the "Quaker", who stalks his daughter's killer for decades, driving the killer to suicide and ultimately cutting his own throat to follow him to hell. Billy and Hans steal a Shih Tzu, Bonny, unaware that it is the beloved pet of Charlie Costello (Harrelson), an unpredictable and violent gangster. Billy places an advertisement in the newspaper inviting "psychopaths" to call and share their "crazy or quirky" stories for him and Marty to use in their script.
Charlie's thugs, led by Paulo (Ivanek), discover Hans' connection to the kidnapping. At a warehouse, they threaten to kill Marty and Hans unless they reveal Bonny's location, but the Jack of Diamonds killer arrives and shoots the thugs.

Mickey's a great actor [..] I've known Woody [Harrelson] for years and years, and he was a perfect choice for this too. He's got those great dramatic elements which he's shown in Rampart recently, and he's always been a fantastic comedian.
You need that in this – someone who can be out- and- out funny, but also turn sinister on a dime."[1. The film was shot in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree National Park, Twentynine Palms, California.

Eric Kohn of Indie. Wire gave the film a positive review and a "A- " grade, praising Mc. Donagh's writing, stating that it "hits a unique pitch between dark, bloody satire and interpersonal conflicts that makes his finest work play like a combination of Quentin Tarantino and Aaron Sorkin." About the film itself, he wrote: "A less controlled and slapdash character piece than In Bruges, Mc.
Donagh's new movie benefits greatly from a plethora of one- liners that toy with crime movie clich. és in the unlikely context of writerly obsessions."[2. Claudia Puig of USA Today also gave the film a positive review, writing that "men in movies are often just overgrown boys, and Seven Psychopaths is out to prove it – in the most twisted, hilarious way possible."[2. Roger Ebert of Chicago Sun- Times gave the film three- and- a- half stars out of four. He praised the performances of main cast members and Mc. Donagh's writing, stating that "Walken sometimes leans toward self- parody, but here his performance has a delicate, contained strangeness.
All of the actors are good, and Farrell wisely allows the showier performances to circle around him. Like any screenwriter – like Tarantino, for example, who is possibly Mc.
Donagh's inspiration here – he brings these people into being and stands back in amazement." About the film, he added: "This is a delightfully goofy, self- aware movie that knows it is a movie."[2. Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a "B+" grade, stating: "An energetically demented psycho- killer comedy set in faux- noir L.
A., Seven Psychopaths rollicks along to the unique narrative beat and language stylings of Anglo- Irish writer- director Martin Mc. Donagh (In Bruges), channeling Quentin Tarantino."[2. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter praised the performances of the main cast members, he stated: "As creatively bankrupt Marty, Farrell is in subdued mode here, his performance largely defined by the endless expressivity of his eyebrows. He serves as an excellent foil for Rockwell, whose line readings continually dance between knowingness and idiocy, and Walken, who ventures as far into deadpan as you can go while remaining conscious. And Harrelson has fun contrasting his devotion to Bonny with his contempt for humanity." He wrote about the film that "while it's way behind the Pulp Fiction curve, Seven Psychopaths can be terrifically entertaining."[2. Catherine Shoard of The Guardian gave the film four stars out of five, indicating a positive review, she wrote: "There are scenes of complete brilliance, Walken is better than he's been in years, cute plot loops and grace notes."[2.
