War on Everyone

Two corrupt, trigger-happy, and morally bankrupt LAPD detectives, Terry and Bob, try to strong-arm and blackmail their way through the criminal underworld of Los Angeles. They stumble upon a high-stakes robbery plot that could set them up for life, but also pits them against a terrifyingly skilled and ruthless British sociopath.

War on Everyone received mixed to positive reviews from critics, who generally praised its dark humor, energetic performances, and McDonagh's signature blend of violence and comedy. However, some critics found the humor and characters to be overly abrasive and derivative of the director's previous work.

• The film offers a darkly comedic and violent ride with strong performances.
• Critics found the humor and characters to be polarizing, with some enjoying the director's distinct style.
• The action sequences and witty dialogue were frequently highlighted, though plot coherence was sometimes questioned.

Google audience: Google users were divided on the film, with many appreciating the dark humor and the chemistry between the lead actors. However, a significant portion found the characters too unlikable and the plot unnecessarily convoluted, leading to a middling overall reception.

Director John Michael McDonagh stated that he wanted to make a film that was "like a really fucked up Lethal Weapon." The script was originally written with a different set of characters before being redeveloped.
