shareWhy are you capitalizing the first letter of every word?
I'm as MAD AS HELL and I'm not going to take it anymore!
OP reminds me of that one scene in the car.
"I don't mind helping, as long as the movie isn't going to be too violent."
"Of course it's gonna be violent! The movie's called Seven *beep* Psychopaths!"

To quote the film, "It's about Seven fookin Psychopaths!!!" The movie is about screenwriting, needless violence, and writing about the violence. The first scene very much sets the tone for this.
"Oh, my God. Bear is driving! How can that be?!"
I hear you bro. It's an interesting movie allright, but it should not be advertised as a comedy. A comedy is supposed to be funny, to make you laugh. There were not too many opportunities for laughs in this one. There can be violence in a comedy allright, but this one has this dramatic feeling about it in the same time.
shareThis movie was hilarious! It's a dark comedy; it's not going to be a non-stop laugh riot. There are funny moments, serious moments, intense, hard to watch moments... it had it all!

Are you kidding me?? Sam Rockwell's take on how the film should end was hilarious. As was Farrell and Walken's reaction to it.

Since it was all about the clash between fictional violence and the real thing, the existence of morality in a bloody setting, and psychopaths, it's hardly surprising it was violent.
People may find shocking a) the graphic violence (throat-cutting etc.) and b) the fact that it's often treated as funny or at least fun.
That's just part of a historical trend to more realism, plus a Tarantino treatment of violence as a mild taboo to be toyed about with.
IMHO
In In Bruges, the violence was done for comedic effect, and didn't bother me much. In this one, it was different. While it wasn't gorier than a lot of other stuff, it was something about the way it was done. The killing of the old lady, the throat cutting scene. That stuff was not funny, at it was a little disturbing.
While I'm not sure I would call it too violent, I would certainly describe it as a lot more violent than other films, even though the amount of blood isn't much to write home about. I can certainly see why some people found it disturbing.
In Bruges is flawless to me...I think the violence is perfectly suitable and how it's used.
Seven Psychopaths is a bit violent at times but I don't think it was overly violent necessarily.
The movie is very much about violent american crime movies so it makes sense based on the subject material.
Even the most primitive society has an innate respect for the insane.
It's you.
