Didn't come in expecting much from this movie, but it seemed to be a well executed dark comedy that didn't take itself too seriously and for the most part kept a proper balance with being the right amount of absurd. Not a fan of Danny McBride in general, but he was the proper casting choice for this role.
Novice director Jonathan Watson makes his 2nd directorial debut and his first full length feature film, and knocks it out of the ballpark!
This is a well written, cast and produced dark comedy with few LOL moments, but you will have a constant grin throughout, especially from the perfectly cast Danny McBride who's performance was outstanding for his character.
He, as well as the great directing along with the perfect cinematography make this film stand out and very entertaining.
The entire premise of the set location (pretty much abandoned gated communities) make this a different type of cat-and-mouse comedy thriller that is enjoyable start to finish. The pacing is great and the length is perfect.
An excellent Sunday hangover popcorn flick! A well deserved 8/10 from me

Honestly I found it a nice break from the usual morally upright standing movies to see what people can be like sometimes when pushed pass a cetrain point and begin to spiral. Loved Danny McBride in this. His best I think.
The amount of people that hate this movie is just staggering as I thought Arizona deserves a much higher rating. I know there are alot of people with no sense of humor at all and it seems they all watched this movie and felt the urge to review it afterwards. Arizona is a dark comedy, and a good one. Everything that can go wrong goes wrong. It simply starts with an accident and escalates quickly into a murdering spree. The cast is great for this movie. All good funny comedians that made me laugh alot in the past. Some have only small parts like Seth Rogen and Kaitlin Olson (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia) but even in their short appearance they made me laugh. Danny McBride and Rosemarie DeWitt play the major characters and they did a good job. Danny McBride (from Vice Principals) has just one of those funny faces, he'll make me laugh in a blink. The story is very easy to follow, it's dark and funny, and very entertaining. I honestly can't understand what people don't find entertaining in this movie.
I'm glad I gave this a shot. It's well produced and very well acted. The story is bizarre, but inventive and not impossible. Within its bounds, the plotting and writing is very good, with all the action holding together. That alone is an achievement these days.
A black comedy, exactly as advertised - and a pretty good one too.

- TriviaJonathan Watson's directorial debut. He has previously worked as the Second Unit Director or Assistant Director on shows and movies like Vice Principals (2016), The Disaster Artist (2017), 21 Jump Street (2012), and La Ligne verte (1999).
- GoofsWhen returning to Los Compos De Oro with the newly-kidnapped Morgan, the second aerial shot of them on the highway shows Sonny's yellow Hummer driving on the left side of the road (and the random vehicle traveling the opposite direction driving on their left side of the road), as if suddenly driving in the UK for the one camera shot.
