Review of War on Everyone (2016) by Warwick B — 13 Nov 2016
The latest offering from director John Michael Donagh is an off kilter indie crime comedy.
Upholding the law could not be further away from their line of duty for two wayward detectives Terry Monroe (Alexander Skarsgärd) and Bob Bolaña (Michael Peña). Drugs, blackmail, assault being just a few of their crimes as they work the Albuquerquey, New Mexico beat. But when the pair come across a dangerous crime ring run by debauched, amoral Brit James Mangan (Theo James) and his right hand man, effeminate strip club owner Birdwell (Caleb Landry Jones), they find themselves in way, way over their heads.
The bad to the bones lead duo are joyously over the top and clearly had a lot of fun making the movie. Featuring gratuitous violence, language, drug use, sexy dancing and a deliciously wistful soundtrack, breaking the law has never been so funny.
