Leon Nicholson: "For those expecting In Bruges II, then prepare to be disappointed. At times this is more like the Tarantino-penned, Tony Scott-helmed True Romance, only it does not quite hit any of those heights. That said, it's still a solid, enjoyable follow-up for Martin McDonagh."
Jeremy of We Got This Covered wrote, "Writer and director Martin McDonagh returns to the big screen after a brief hiatus with Seven Psychopaths, a crime comedy with a sly agenda and more than seven oddball nut jobs that make the film a breeze to watch and something worth revisiting over and over. Seven Psychopaths is much more Pulp Fiction than it is a film about seven psychos committing murder, but that isn’t to say it’s without blood or violence."

Not sure why the release schedule dried up this week but it’s pretty slim pickings out there. The new release schedule fairs somewhat better than the catalog titles but that’s not saying a whole lot. Fans of the offbeat comedy In Bruges will be happy, as will fans fans of the biggest found footage franchise in the world. Adam Sandler’s newest comedic abortion arrives on Blu-ray in both two and three dimensions while the newest film from the new Superman arrives on Blu-ray much like it did in theaters… DOA. With regards to the catalog titles we see the release of Ridley Scott’s first film, an Ethan Hawke space adventure, and a shameless double dip of one of an action series classic.
