Movie review: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

I watched this movie knowing that it would be sad I guess. I mean, this lady's (Frances McDormand) daughter dies so she rents three billboards with messages directed at William Willoughby (Woody Harrelson), the town's police chief. Chief Willoughby is a good guy who just has not been able to solve the case. Yet she won't be having that. Her billboards' message to the chief is: do your job and catch the killer already. The second-in-command Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell) is a real a-hole and causes all sorts of trouble. He is also an idiot and a stain on the police force.

Yeah, I knew the lady would be sad but I expected this to be more of a crime thriller. Instead, this movie is full of unhappy people who are full of remorse, racism, and stupidity. There are f-bombs throughout this one as well so put the kids to bed before watching.

It was a good movie I suppose...just not what I expected. Check it out.
