Martin McDonagh's 'Six Shooter'

This short film from Seven Psychopaths' writer/director Martin McDonagh is a thoroughly entertaining bit of black comedy. As with In Bruges, it's very Shakespearean in the way that it nimbly flits between comedy and tragedy, able to make you laugh, cringe and almost cry all in the same line. The language used is also reminiscent of the bard ("That was woeful shooting, fucking woeful.") and probably a result from McDonagh's time as a playwright.

Whereas Seven Psychopaths arguably relies too much on pastiche, Six Shooter is full of originality, extreme but still believable characters and killer one liners - something McDonagh's most recent effort is also packed full with.
