#TRAILERCHEST: John Michael McDonagh’s new movie War on Everyone looks like a hoot

Conor Heneghan

After the success of The Guard and Cavalry, expectations are high.

Plot’s it all about? In Albuquerque, New Mexico, Terry Monroe (Skarsgård) and Bob Bolaño (Peña) are two corrupt cops who set out to blackmail and frame every criminal unfortunate enough to cross their path. Things take a sinister turn, however, when they try to intimidate someone who is more dangerous than they are. Or is he?

War on Everyone had its world premiere at the 66th annual Berlin Film Festival and was the official selection at the 2016 SXSW Festival.

Starring: Alexander Skarsgård (Tarzan, Melancholia, True Blood), Michael Peña (Ant-Man, Fury, End of Watch) and Theo James (Insurgent, Divergent).

Directed and written by: John Michael McDonagh (Cavalry, The Guard).

Irish release date: September 30, 2016
