What Six Shooter Is About

A man who has just lost his wife boards a train and finds himself opposite a young man who talks constantly and recognises no limits. It runs half an hour, and everything Martin McDonagh would do at feature length is already here: gallows humour sitting in the same sentence as grief, violence that arrives without warning, and nobody let off easily. Brendan Gleeson carries the mourning in silence while the character across from him treats being unbearable as a vocation. The discomfort of laughing where you are invited to laugh is the design, not a side effect.
