Fargo vs "The Formula"

Rating: 1/10 (27 November 2017)

If "Three Billboards" were to say something meaningful they would have have been inscribed with kudos for stellar and dynamic acting performance of Sam Rockwell. I am looking forward to seeing Rockwell in films to come.
Why give this movie a rating of 1? That is simple;
The film leverages a pulp-fiction-formula now used ubiquitously in contemporary serial TV dramas. Each TV episode, or in this case each scene of the movie, has been written to either titillate, shock, or entertain.
Stringing a random bunch of contrived story elements together does not a believable story or good movie make.
A big difference in depth exists between "Fargo" and "Three Billboards." "Fargo" had a concise story and plot line. "Three Billboards," has a formula mistaken for the same.
