John Malkovich plays a CIA officer in Martin McDonagh's 'Wild Horse Nine,' according to an ABC News report. The report's summary says Malkovich's character, named Chris, is an itinerant officer who is weary from his travels.
The headline on the ABC News report describes the character as "world-weary" and says he prefers life on the road. The summary of that report says only that Chris is weary from his travels and does not mention a preference for the road.
In a New York Times review by Manohla Dargis, the film is called a "laugh- and blood-flecked romp." The review's summary says John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell play C.I.A. agents who do more than just sightseeing in Chile. The review's headline frames the film as a kind of holiday for the C.I.A.
The two accounts differ in focus. The ABC News summary names only Malkovich's character, while The New York Times summary describes two agents, played by Malkovich and Sam Rockwell.
Both outlets connect Martin McDonagh's name with the film. Neither the ABC News report nor the New York Times review, as summarized here, gives a studio, a release date, a running time, or an ending. Only the New York Times summary places any action in Chile.
This account relies only on the headlines and summaries of the two reports from ABC News and The New York Times.
