Expected So Much and Left the Cinema Feeling Cheated

Rating: 4/10 (26 January 2018)

Okay, so I don't think this is an awful movie, but I found it to be very disappointing. 4/10 is the kind of rating I give to a typical made-for-TV movie that was almost a waste of time watching, but it had its moments.
I usually enjoy Frances McDormand and her acting was good in this. I just didn't enjoy it. I found her character to be totally unlikeable and the "black humour" didn't work at all for me. To me, this was just a lot of violence. And I really enjoy black humour, like that of Fargo (movie and TV series) and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Woody Harrelson's character (and acting) was okay, but I thought "smaller" characters played by Lucas Hedges, Peter Dinklage and Clarke Peters were far more believable and I enjoyed watching them much more than the main characters.
I didn't expect the Hollywood "happily ever after" ending but the actual ending left me feeling totally cheated. I felt that nothing had been resolved.
The cinema I go to has a policy that you can walk out of a movie within the first thirty minutes if you aren't enjoying it and get a free ticket for another movie. I didn't find it so bad to take advantage of this policy, but at the end of two hours my verdict was not great. I would probably have enjoyed another movie much more.
