War on Everyone

Writer: John Michael McDonaugh
The McDonaugh brothers have been showcasing their particular penchant for dark comedy over the past decade, beginning with Martin McDonaugh’s 2008 film In Bruges. John Michael McDonaugh followed with his 2010 debut The Guest, and 2014’s exceptional Cavalry, both premiering at Sundance to great acclaim, followed by international premieres in Berlin. He’s back with his first US set feature, War on Everyone, another comedic thriller concerning immoral police officers. An intriguing cast promises to expand McDonaugh’s appeal stateside.
