Mark Kermode Reviews Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine

Dark Pasts Come Back To Haunt

Mark Kermode just reviewed Martin McDonagh’s latest film Wild Horse Nine, in cinemas now, for Kermode and Mayo’s Take and here’s his review…

Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter island by their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi). Amongst the Island’s iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris’s newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.
