SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS October 12 » Unlike his debut feature, In Bruges, the title of prolific playwright and filmmaker Martin McDonagh's hilarious, ingenious, and sneakily profound second movie, Seven Psychopaths, gives you a good idea of what you're in for. There are indeed seven psychopaths, played by the usual suspects — actors such as Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, and Tom Waits. ut then it gets complicated. Storylines multiply, the distinctions blur between what is imagined and what is real, and allusions to movies pile up as rapidly as the body count.
