🔻“The Ninth Wild Horse”; a sharp critique of the CIA that could polarize American audiences

🖋Nicholas Barber 🔻In the new film by Martin McDonagh, an Irish director, starring John Malkovich as an intelligence officer in the 1970s, the story follows a man who wrestles with guilt and is at risk of exposing sensitive secrets. This spy film offers an engaging and biting account.

Martin McDonagh has a particular interest in making films in which two men from different generations, in visually striking locations, constantly clash with each other and hurl insults. The Irish writer and director’s body of work includes cult gangster comedy “In Bruges” (2008) and the successful 2022 film “The Banshees of Inisherin,” a movie that was nominated for nine Academy Awards.

The latest example of this kind of film is “The Ninth Wild Horse”; a satirical spy comedy set in the 1970s, starring John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell as two unruly CIA agents who have sharp tongues and flashier, more showy shirts.
