Wild Horse Nine
Directed by Martin McDonagh
Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris and Lee are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ. Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.

positive · AI labelView post →2026 watch #135: Wild Horse Nine. This fucker’s got Tom Waits as a hermit living at Monument Valley. Why doesn’t every movie have that? I don’t care what it’s about. Project Hail Mary? Resident Evil? Write in a Tom Waits Monument Valley hermit cameo. Anyway, good shit.

positive · AI labelView post →I have no idea what you are referring to. This quote seems pretty clear he was happy to perform in Israel. >Malkovich, who is a leading Oscar contender for his role in Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine, was due to appear in The Music Critic, a theatrical-musical satire composed by the Jewish violinist Aleksey Igudesman, in Tel Aviv’s Charles Bronfman Auditorium on 13 April.

Not only does it feel like a thematic step forward from his previous film, but it’s also wonderfully performed and endlessly contemplative and thought-provoking.” READ Our Movie Review @ Cinefied: www.cinefied.com/post/wild-ho...

positive · AI labelView post →It’s 2005, and people initially say they liked CRASH but months later quietly realize it’s a terrible movie It’s 2026, and people initially say they liked WILD HORSE NINE but hey, give ‘em a few months.
negative · AI labelView post →John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell skillfully ladle on the caustic comedy, but Martin McDonagh’s latest, "Wild Horse Nine," leaves the moral wreckage of American imperialism largely unexplored. artsfuse.org/336626/film-...
neutral · AI labelView post →Gonna be tough when Wild Horse Nine actually comes out and I stop hearing Sam Rockwell go “We’re not the CIA! 😄” before literally every movie
neutral · AI labelView post →The three trailers immediately before Wildwood were: - The Cocomelon movie - R rated black and white arthouse animated movie Tangles - The Magician's Nephew They did not know what the audience was going to be so they previewed everything. Was half expecting a Wild Horse Nine trailer.

neutral · AI labelView post →...Good Luck, a Netflix movie from earlier this year that was pretty good. He's also in the upcoming Wild Horse Nine, which is getting rave reviews. It's the one with Malkovich and Rockwell as CIA agents in 1973 Chile. I'm really, really, really looking forward to that one. It's in theaters Nov. 6.

neutral · AI labelView post →"Wild Horse Nine" is another terrific Martin McDonagh film with pitch-perfect, gonna-be-Oscar-nominated performances from John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell. Both are leads, but I'm wondering if they'll slot Rockwell into supporting to boost Malkovich's chances of winning a Career Oscar.

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm with you in thinking SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS is the undervalued black sheep of his filmography, a real bleak and haunted movie masquerading as a thin and jokey one. But yeah... everything since then, I can't get with. Hoping WILD HORSE NINE reverses that, tbh.

Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother is the movie I liked the most. Musk and Wild Horse Nine (ideally in that order) are the ones that need to be seen by as many people as possible.

John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell had some of the most natural chemistry between two actors I've ever seen and their performances were very funny and heartfelt.
