Wild Horse Nine

Two older white men talk in a sunlit room with large windows and honey-toned wood paneling. On the left, a man with slicked-back dark hair and a mustache wears a brown knit polo with orange-and-cream striped trim and a dark strap across his chest. He points with one finger as he speaks. On the right, an older man with white stubble and a straw fedora wears a dark blazer over an orange shirt and listens, looking at him intently. Blurred greenery and a lawn are visible through the windows behind them.

About Wild Horse Nine

Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter island by their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi). Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.

Martin McDonagh continues to mine the absurdities and complexities of male relationships in a film that brims with energy and which is sure to delight audiences. John Malkovich's peerless performance chimes beautifully with co-stars Sam Rockwell and Steve Bushemi, who together bring McDonagh's brilliantly acerbic, witty script hilariously to life.
