Screening of Martin McDonagh's spy thriller 'Wild Horse Nine', starring Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich, at QUAD.
Wild Horse Nine is screening at QUAD from 6 to 12 November, the latest film from Martin McDonagh. If those two names ring a bell, it's because he wrote and directed In Bruges and The Banshees of Inisherin, so this is the same hand behind the script and the camera.
It's set shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup and follows two CIA agents, Chris and Lee, who've been sent by their bureau chief, MJ, from Santiago to Easter Island. Once they're there, they spend their time wrestling with their own dark pasts and the present conspiracies swirling around the island's iconic statues. Things start to go sideways when Chris forms a bond with a pair of rebellious students, and the whole trip begins to unravel around them.
On screen, you've got John Malkovich as Chris, Sam Rockwell as Lee, and Steve Buscemi as MJ. It's a UK/USA production that runs 117 minutes, and it's rated 15. Empire Magazine called it 'a glorious place to visit, uproariously funny and quietly moving', which gives you a fair idea of the tone it's aiming for.
