Martin McDonagh?s ?In Bruge? was a darkly funny comedy. This new effort lacks the comic spark, but it tries real hard. A screenwriter (Colin Farrell) gets entangled with wacky crooks when his friends (Sam Rockwell & Christopher Walken) kidnap a gangster?s Shih Tzu. The plot jumps from real time to storytime, which keeps it interesting, but the payoff doesn?t deliver. While there?s plenty of energy (and blunt violence) in the performances and the direction, most of the humor is pretty sophomoric. It felt like yet another Tarantino-influenced letdown.

GAY ANGLE: Gay slurs are peppered throughout and, surprisingly, not one of the 7 seems to be gay.

Jerry Williams reviewed movies for WTVR-TV for 14 years and for Style Weekly for 10 years. When he launched his own website in 1998 at TVJerry.com, he took his reviews to the Internet. Through those hundreds of reviews, Jerry kept his sexual orientation muted. So, he's excited to be adding "gay angles" to his postings for GayRVA.com.
