action
The Irish screenwriter Marty tries in vain a screenplay of his new film project Seven Psychopaths to write, no longer exists today of the one than the title. His unemployed friend Billy, an actor who, together with Hans, makes a living by kidnapping dogs and then collecting the finder's wages, tries to support him: So he places a newspaper ad ("Psychopaths wanted"), which the retired serial killer Zachariah is on reports.
When Billy steals the beloved dog Bonny , a Shih Tzu , from gang boss Charlie, Hans is caught and interrogated by Charlie's men. Billy hides Bonny with him. Hans escapes because Charlie's men are shot by a killer whom the media have dubbed the Jack of Diamonds: Jack of Diamonds only ever kills murderers and leaves this playing card with the corpses .
Charlie takes revenge by shooting Hans' wife Myra in the hospital. Hans, who arrives a little later, recognizes her murderer in the retreating Charlie.
After the call from Hans explaining that the dog owner shot Charlie Myra, Billy kills Angela , a mutual lover of his and Charlie's. Marty, Billy and Hans flee from Charlie with Bonny in the desert. They want to finish Marty's script there, but they disagree about the course of the plot. The car the three of them drove into the desert explodes. Hans, who had previously taken a hallucinogen ( peyote in the original version , mushrooms in the German translation ) with Billy , leaves the group and walks through the desert to the next settlement.
Charlie comes - as agreed with Billy, who had revealed the whereabouts - unarmed into the desert, which Billy cannot believe: he shoots Charlie, who is carrying a signal pistol. Marty wants to drive the wounded Charlie to a doctor, Hans meets Charlie's men elsewhere. Billy fires the flare gun to reveal its location. Hans is shot by Charlie's men. Policemen chasing the fleeing men meet Marty and Charlie and drive on to Billy - the diamond boy - who dies in the final exchange of fire. Marty escapes and finds the shot Hans who is holding a dictation machine with "his" script finale in his hand.

criticism
"The ironic, self-reflective thriller plays with references to various role models as well as a group of popular actors, which entertains for a short time, but soon falls victim to the same tiredness of the same genre standards that the film wants to target satirically."
“The story sounds pretty crazy and knowing that writer and director Martin McDonagh ('See Bruges ... and die?') Is behind it, expectations are high. But despite the good actors, McDonagh overshot the mark with this black comedy. As the title suggests, not even a character is halfway normal here. And in the long run that puts a strain on your nerves! "
“'7 Psychos' […] is not a big comment on the limits of genre cinema. McDonagh keeps an eye on the entertainment, which can be found refreshingly ineligible and entertaining for almost two hours of running time. Without the ambition of a statement, '7 Psychos' is stuck in a trap that is referred to in English with the term middle brow . Too clever to pass as trash , too unambitious to be of interest as a work of art. "
Trivia
- First Mickey Rourke was supposed to play the role of Charlie , but was replaced by Woody Harrelson after a dispute with McDonagh. In the cemetery scene, a grave with the name Rourke can be seen as a reference .
- Crispin Glover made a cameo on the scene in the courtroom.
- In one scene, Sam Rockwell's character "Bickle" speaks to his reflection in the mirror. There is a similar scene in the 1976 film Taxi Driver , in which Robert De Niro's character also talks to himself in front of a mirror. In addition, both characters have the same surname.
