March 13, 2016 12:20 pmWar on Everyone Review: Film’s Darkest Director Finds Something to Laugh About
John Michael McDonagh trades Ireland for New Mexico but still keeps the sunshine out of his comedy.
by
Irish writer/director John Michael McDonagh blew the film world away with his 2011 directorial debut The Guard and made an equally-impressive and bleak follow-up with 2014’s Calvary. But in War on Everyone, which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival Saturday night, McDonagh leaves behind both misty Ireland and his two-time leading man Brendan Gleeson in favor of sunny New Mexico and a nattily-dressed buddy cop duo played by Michael Peña and Alexander Skarsgård. The film is a fast-paced caper in grand 1970s style with non-stop sharp comedy that keeps the tone light even as the subject matter goes pitch-black.
Skarsgård—who is having a brilliant post-True Blood hunk career as an indie film star—plays Terry Monroe an alcoholic, Glen Campbell-loving insomniac with a damaged past and, possibly, a death wish. Hunching his lean 6’4” frame into a knuckle-dragging gorilla posture, Skarsgård as Terry is rarely sober, always spoiling for a fight, and delivers joke after joke in a melodious deadpan. Peña’s Bob Bolaño is the more educated of the detectives and, as he handily proved in Ant-Man, there is no line in existence that Peña can’t put a hilarious, fast-paced spin on.
Any doubts about whether the character “Bolaño” is a reference to the famous Chilean novelist evaporate as Terry, Bob, and their love interests (Tessa Thompson and Stephanie Sigman respectively) trade jokes about everything from French feminist Simone de Beauvoir to mid-century painter Andrew Wyeth. This might be McDonagh’s most mainstream movie yet, but he isn’t afraid of his characters’ intelligence....

I go away for the weekend and return to Alex looking like a million bucks and his red-carpet goofball persona on full throttle. He looks good. Love the chemistry with Michael Pena.
No Alexa? I thought Villoid were putting on a stand or were part of an event? Hmmm
Anyhow, Alex looks great. Better than he has for a while.

When I take my garbage out to my alley's dumpsters I don't see anything resembling Alex! I obviously am living in the wrong neighborhood!
I'm trying to imagine him crying at an Italian restaurant because he was able to eat 'real' food.
Michael Pena and Alexander Skarsgard Have the Last Laugh in War on Everyone
Monday, March 14th, 2016 at 12:55pm PST - by Kristy Puchko
Skarsgård: But I remember we all met up in Albuquerque [where the film was shot], and we (gesturing to Pena) had never met before.
Peña: I didnt know that you didnt meet him (gestures to McDonagh) before too!
Skarsgård: Yeah, but we got together and had, like, a five-hour scheduled rehearsal. And we sit, go through the script and after John is kind of watching Mike and myself. Were kind of talking, doing our thing, and after about an hour, Johns is like, You guys hungry? Want to go to lunch, grab a couple of pints? So that was it, kind of. Because we (pointing to Pena) found a rapport early on. We have the same sense of humor and understood each other.
Michaels done comedy before, and this plays kind of halfway between End of Watch and Ant-Man, like this weird between zone of dark humor that works really well. But, Alexander, youre not known for comedy in the U.S. Was that something you were looking to do more of?
Skarsgård: Yeah, I did a couple of comedies in Sweden before I moved over to the States. I was not a comedic actor, but was in a couple of comedies and really loved it. And then for some reason I ended up working on more dramatic roles here in the States. And I did a couple of days on Zoolander and I did a couple of days on Eastbound and Down, and I just had so much fun doing that. So I was definitely looking for something. And this was the tone I love, where its dark and has some depth and character but is also very funny. And I again after doing Tarzan for eight months, I was so ready to do something where a character does more kind of aaahh! (Throws his arms up and makes a sort of manic scream face). You know, is kind of more out there, crazier.
