War On Everyone

I do enjoy a great dark comedy. They can be a bit twisted but I'm always up for a good laugh. As an added bonus you get to see Alexander Skarsgard dance to Rhinestone Cowboy. What's not to love?!

War on Everyone is written and directed by John Michael McDonagh and he is not afraid to cross the line on dark humor. The premise of War On Everyone is Terry (Alexander Skarsgard) and Bob (Michael Pena) are two corrupt cops looking for their next big score. They are not afraid to commit a crime to get it. Even if they must bribe, beat, steal or sleep with someone to get it. To them it's just another Tuesday.

The big score is a million dollar hit from a British Lord (Theo James) and his stripper club manager Russell (Caleb Landry Jones). The Lord is a twisted man who has no problem killing anyone who gets in his way. Terry and Bob see him as just another guy to rip off. Let's just say there is a ton of drama along the way. Bob and Terry see Russell as a stain upon their town and have no problem kicking the crap out of him.

War On Everyone is so freaking funny! I laughed so hard. The back and forth dialogue between characters is so wonderfully written. Bob and Terry are not afraid to have real conversations, no matter how taboo the topic. It's a great dark buddy comedy and Skarsgard and Pena have magical chemistry. I really hope they make more movies together.

Alexander Skarsgard takes his character Terry to the dark place. Terry has clearly been traumatized in the past and he uses alcohol to cope. We don't know exactly what happened to him but we assume it was child abuse and molestation. This explains why he is so unhinged and unafraid to kick the crap out of someone. He's twisted but he pulls it off so well.

Everyone should see War on Everyone. Well unless you are easily offended but crass humor. Don't be such a party pooper. Let your hair down and laugh your face off!
