I underestimated this film the last time we saw it - it's constantly commenting on itself, upending criticisms which you (I) might make, and has a dark heart - My Lai, for example.
It's a very subtle work despite big gory belly laughs.
Sam Rockwell is just great (he won the Golden Globe for Four Billboards and is also up for the Oscar/BAFTA) - though so is Colin Farrell. And so is Woody Harrelson. With Christopher Walken, Abbie Cornish, Harry Dean Stanton, Gabourey Sidibe, Zeljko Ivanek, Tom Waits, Olga Kurylenko and Bonny (the dog, definitely credit-worthy).
"Get your hands up."
"No."
"Why not?"
"I don't want to."
Shot by Ben Davis in Panavision and scored by Carter Burwell.
