Six Shooter is a black and bloody Irish comedy written and directed by Martin McDonagh. The film was BAFTA nominated, won Best Short at the Irish Film Awards in 2005 and won the short film Oscar in 2006.

Six Shooter is McDonagh's first film following a hugely successful career as a playwright. His work includes THE PILLOWMAN (Olivier Award and four-time Tony nominee) whose 2005 Broadway run starred Billy Crudup and Jeff Goldblum and UK run starred David Tennant and Jim Broadbent, THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE (Olivier Award and Tony Nominee) and A SKULL IN CONNEMARA. The New York Times called him "a playwright with an anarchic streak as wide and twisting as the River Liffey." McDonagh's first feature film, IN BRUGES, stars Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes and Brendan Gleeson.

On a train journey home through rural Ireland, a man whose wife has just died that morning, encounters a strange and possibly psychotic young oddball. His outlandish words and actions set in motion a chain of events that lead inexorably to the tale's dark and dangerous conclusion.
