A Heavy-Handed But Nonetheless Compelling Unconventional Crime Drama

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2018)

"In Bruges" director Martin McDonagh applies his dark comedy sensibilities to this unconventional but compelling crime drama that benefits greatly by knock-out performances from McDormand, Rockwell and Harrelson.
I think what holds this movie back a bit is that in the end, it does feel like a riff on the Coen Brother's brand of modern neo-noir that is lacking in subtlety when it comes to tackling it's broader philosophical and social themes.
