Review of War on Everyone (2016) by Brendan N — 05 Jun 2017

Dark comedy and a throwback to the mismatched buddie cop films that Hollywood did so well. The film has a very mixed reception but I thought this film was clever and very original. The humor hits hard from the opening and while the pace lags at times, you just know the next beat will be just as interesting.

This feels like a love letter to Shane Black who also had a lack of love with a recent revisit to the cop genre. This film has it all but never feels crowded or disinterested in its characters. I really had hoped to see this in cinemas but unfortunately it wasn't to be, hopefully will develop the following it deserves.
