“The rest of the CIA will do anything it takes to make sure that Chris doesn’t share whatever it is that he still remembers.”
“In “Wild Horse Nine,” American interventionism is less effective as the set-up for some jokes than it is as their punchline.”

“Surrounding them on all sides are statues that predated America by several hundred years, and will likely continue to watch over Rapa Nui long after our empire has been wiped away like a tear in the rain.”
“Chris bemusedly laughs the statues off with ethnographic glee, mocking one of the shorter figures as a dwarf (in case the “In Bruges” déjà vu wasn’t already strong enough), but it’s clear that he’s shaken by the fact that some of them almost 750 years old.”
“In this case, an American Western set on Easter Island and backdropped by Augusto Pinochet’s rise to power in the fall of 1973.”
“Chris appears to delight in sowing chaos, and the fact that he gets to wear a cute little Panama hat while he does it only boosts his joie de vivre .”

“Dolly Parton Revealed Rules For Her 'Open Marriage' With Carl Thomas Dean Before Her Death 4.”
“The original Company man, Chris ( John Malkovich , more locked in than he’s been on screen since “Burn After Reading”) is a natural hinge for the off-kilter comedy that McDonagh builds around him, in that he can be a joy to watch even when you don’t buy a word he’s saying.”
