'''''Seven Psychopaths''''' is a 2012 dark comedy written and directed by Creator/{{Martin McDonagh}}, and starring Creator/ColinFarrell, Creator/SamRockwell, Creator/ChristopherWalken, and Creator/WoodyHarrelson.
Marty (Farrell) is a struggling screenwriter, currently attempting to get his next screenplay, titled ''[[TitleDrop Seven Psychopaths]]'', past the title. Struggling at the first hurdle of ''who'' and ''what'' the seven psychopaths are, especially so as he doesn't want it to be a stock SummerBlockbuster thriller about men with guns. Thus, Marty starts hanging out with his best friend and dog-kidnapper Billy (Rockwell), who does his best to help him out. Unfortunately for Marty, Billy isn't happy enough helping with writing, and attempts to get things moving by putting out a personal ad ''[[TooDumbToLive asking psychopaths to contact them.]]''
Meanwhile, Billy's partner-in-crime Hans (Walken) soon learns the hard way that a Shih Tzu they recently took named Bonny belongs to Charlie Costello (Harrelson), an excessively-violent, [[HairTriggerTemper short-tempered]] gangster with a rather creepy obsession with his dog. Naturally, [[FirstLawOfTragicomedies things soon go to hell very quickly]] and Marty soon finds himself trapped in a very difficult (albeit script-inspiring) situation and [[CaptainObvious surrounded by several psychopaths.]]
