Seven Psychopaths (2012)
McDonagh's 2012 Hollywood meta-comedy. Farrell, Rockwell, Walken, Harrelson.
Actor: Colin Farrell
Colin Farrell was pushed as a Hollywood leading man in the early 2000s, in Alexander, S.W.A.T. and Miami Vice, and the results were largely poor. He has been open that he was drinking heavily throughout.
In Bruges changed everything. Playing a hitman paralysed by guilt, he found a register of comic distress that has defined the better second half of his career.
The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer and The Banshees of Inisherin followed with Yorgos Lanthimos and Martin McDonagh, and Banshees earned him a Best Actor nomination.
The Batman buried him under prosthetics as the Penguin, unrecognisable, which he clearly enjoyed.
