John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell and Steve Buscemi star in Martin McDonagh's dark buddy comedy about CIA agents entangling with local Chilean students ahead of the 1973 coup.

WILD HORSE NINE | Official Trailer | Searchlight Pictures

 

Chile, 1973: after Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell), two veteran CIA operatives, wrap up a subversive undercover mission—destabilizing the democratically elected Allende and prepping his opponents for a military coup—they head to Easter Island on a mission, where Chris hopes to write his memoir. An encounter with two students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) hastens the erosion of their trust. 

Chris and Lee's back-and-forth banter—a mix of nostalgic camaraderie and acerbic oneupmanship brilliantly performed by Malkovich and Rockwell—makes Martin McDonagh's film a satirically funny buddy film for the ages, rivaling his own The Banshees of Inisherin. But McDonagh never shies from his clear-eyed and caustic view of the tragic consequences of America's cynical, destructive interventions abroad: This is a comedy with blood on its hands. Parker Posey, Steve Buscemi and Tom Waits provide dazzling support.
