People say “dream carefully, because it might become true”. Struggling screenwriter Marty (played by Colin Farrell) could do anything for inspiration to write. His prayers came true. Marty’s crazy friends Hans and Billy (Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell) are part-time dog thieves. They all become entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after they kidnap a gangster's (Woody Harrelson) beloved Shih Tzu. Sounds funny? Marty obviously doesn't think so.

It is obvious that making gangsters angry is not good for one’s health. And there is no difference that Marty has nothing to do with this, poor screenwriter has to get concentrated into saving his life instead of writing a book. This piece of black humor reminds of “In Bruges” because the script is written and movie directed by the same director – Martin McDonagh. His movies have a lot in common with such icons as Guy Ritchie and Quentino Tarrantino.
