Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris and Lee are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ. 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 threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.

“The dialogue has that stuttering, jabbing, weaving rhythm characteristic of both McDonagh and another beloved Irishman, Samuel Beckett, who, like McDonagh, was not a practicing Catholic (he was raised Protestant), but spent a lifetime contemplating it because it was the fish tank all of his countrymen had to swim in. Beckett was likewise drawn to bleak comedies about affectionate squabblers struggling to make sense of a seemingly meaningless world, set against a landscape of forbidding simplicity.” ~ Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
