From the brilliant and twisted mind of Irish playwright/filmmaker Martin McDonagh, 'Six Shooter' is a dark (and I mean DARK) tragicomedy about death. McDonagh is certainly a fearless filmmaker in terms of subject matter, and he is always willing to take the darkest route possible, while also being extremely unpredictable and often going to places almost no other filmmaker would even dream of going to. With 'Six Shooter', he practically dares the viewer to laugh along with this genuinely disturbing and sad and shocking story, but he also allows the viewer to cry and shake in emotional intensity while fully absorbing the total absurdity of violence. No wonder the man went on to make such jaw dropping successes as 'Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri'. No wonder.
