Wild Horse Nine: a Quirky Companion Piece to In Bruges
- On Friday, Searchlight Pictures releases Wild Horse Nine in theaters, a darkly comedic Western directed by Martin McDonagh starring Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich.
- Set against the 1973 backdrop of Santiago, Chile, the story follows CIA agents Chris and Lee as they work to destabilize the government while Chris begins revealing sensitive intelligence.
- On Easter Island, Steve Buscemi's MJ, head of CIA operations, views the ailing Chris as a liability and insists, "He ain't leaving the fuckin' island."
- Their volatile partnership drives the narrative, punctuated by dark banter; when Lee challenges his past, Chris snaps, "I've killed people in countries you can't even spell."
- Rated R by the Motion Picture Association for sexual references, pervasive language, drug use and strong violence, the film reflects McDonagh's signature themes of regret and atonement.
