[Wild Horse Nine / Director: Martin McDonagh / Starring: John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell]
A veteran CIA agent, played by John Malkovich, arrives on Easter Island in Chile while pondering the end of his life.
Accompanying him is his longtime colleague, played by Sam Rockwell, who seems to have a hidden agenda.
"Wild Horse Nine" is the new film by director Martin McDonagh, who previously directed "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" and "The Banshees of Inisherin".
True to a film by a director who is also an exceptional screenwriter, it makes viewers reflect on the meaning of life even amidst the idle banter exchanged between the two main characters.
John Malkovich won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice International Film Festival for this film.
