Too many mixed messages and anti-police rhetoric

Rating: 6/10 (26 April 2018)

While I found this film entertaining, it didn't seem like justice was being done on other side.
The mother blamed the police for something that was mostly out of their hands and had a number of criminal elements herself. Her husband was unlikable, and she chose him. I couldn't really root for anyone except the Harrelson character.
A scene near the beginning almost put me off the whole movie, with the sarcastic comment about the "blank-ing environment" when the cop said he could arrest the guy for dumping waste on the grass. I don't like glib attitudes toward nature in any context.
When the mother torched the police station all bets were off, and the constant commentary about cops beating up black men seemed like a nod to shady social justice activists.
The best aspect of the movie for me was seeing the crass cop come around and do something decent, but he wasn't exactly redeemed for his earlier rottenness.
