Interview with John Michael McDonagh in the new edition of BFI Filmmakers mag. "When I write, I never think about going too far" http://ow.ly/YMJSS

Great review from the Express Tribune for W.O.E "Terry and Bob are the quintessential antiheroes in this very dark buddy cop comedy, which routinely plays with and breaks conventions, offering a thrilling ride that barely pauses for air. The film has something interesting to say about the misogyny often found in such films and characters, by creating two well rounded female characters for Stephanie Siegman and Tessa Thompson. Both sink their teeth into their respective roles and are very much part of the narrative." http://ow.ly/YHDDc

War on Everyone is furiously fast and funny.

Great round up of Berlin from Observer's Stephen Garrett "While Deadpool was breaking records in the U.S. over the weekend, the Berlinale hosted its own bloody Valentine to gonzo justice: War on Everyone, in which a pair of coke-snorting, bribe-demanding, plain-clothes New Mexico cops with a penchant for bespoke suits (Michael Peña and Alexander Skarsgård) express their hit-and-run mentality towards the entire world (especially fleeing perps). http://ow.ly/Yskda

American films were well represented at this years Berlinale

Rave review from the Evening Standard for WAR ON EVERYONE "It’s utterly irresponsible, completely hilarious, brilliantly scripted, right up there with the very best of Quentin Tarantino, even Elmore Leonard: a hoot." http://ow.ly/YkZ8t

WAR ON EVERYONE review from Cineroom.co.uk "...this is a great addition to McDonagh’s back catalogue. He has followed up The Guard and Cavalry in style with perhaps his most mainstream film to date... It’s raw, different and has great performances to go with it." http://ow.ly/YjPQ7

By Adam Ray Palmer I think this is more than likely the funniest film of the festival, if not 2016 so far. The fourth film I am reviewing is War...

Vanity Fair review of WAR ON EVERYONE "Imagine if Quentin Tarantino directed Starsky and Hutch and didn't mess it up with his whole malignant misanthropic, misogynistic look-at-me thing. The result would be John Michael McDonagh's snort-milk-out-your-nose-funny buddy cop comedy War on Everyone..."

Finally, the kind of role Michael Peña deserves.

Peter Debruge reviews WAR ON EVERYONE for Variety "McDonagh writes his clever, coal-black heart out, delivering another firecracker script, this time with considerably more commercial potential than his previous two indies, CALVARY and THE GUARD." http://ow.ly/YgWhu

Alexander Skasgard and Michael Pena ignore the rules in John Michael McDonagh's talky, sexy and ultimately somewhat surreal buddy-cop movie.
