The Chronicle Episode 73: Wild Horse Nine Review – Martin McDonagh’s Dark Comedy

The weekend is knocking on our doors, fellow Chroniclers, and there’s a brand-new episode of The Chronicle Film Podcast to kick things off in style! For Episode 73, Paul is joined by Ibrahim as they head off to a remote paradise to review Martin McDonagh‘s latest film, Wild Horse Nine.

With the Christmas countdown starting earlier than ever, why not take a break for 30-plus minutes and join us for a little cinematic distraction? Starring Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich, Wild Horse Nine promises a darkly comic journey that might make you laugh, raise a few eyebrows and perhaps even question your own morality.

Set against the backdrop of Chile’s 1973 military coup, the film follows CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell), two longtime partners stationed in the capital, Santiago. When their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi), orders them to travel to Easter Island, what should be a trip to a remote paradise soon takes a darker turn.

As Chris and Lee find themselves confronting their troubled pasts and becoming caught up in present-day conspiracies, their seemingly straightforward assignment threatens to spiral spectacularly out of control.

Alongside Rockwell and Malkovich, the impressive ensemble cast includes Steve Buscemi, Mariana di Girolamo, Ailín Salas, Tom Waits and Parker Posey.

So, what did Paul and Ibrahim make of Martin McDonagh‘s latest dark comedy? Does Wild Horse Nine deliver another memorable slice of McDonagh’s distinctive storytelling? Tune in to Episode 73 of The Chronicle to hear our thoughts!
