Someone Needs Anger Management

Rating: 4/10 (9 May 2018)

(Flash Review)
It is completely understandable to be angry, frustrated and restless when authorities are unable to apprehend the culprit who violated and murdered your daughter! Renting and posting messages on three billboards on an infrequently traveled road to spur action is a clever move. Many actions the mother does after that are...to put it lightly and not to spoil too much....highly inappropriate and dangerous. She basically calls out the chief of police who you learn early on is dying of cancer. His story arc is rather morbid and the mourning mother is not easy to root for or relate to. I feel this is an overrated film. The story bumbles about, there is an unrealistic and unnecessary amount of vulgarity, many call this a dark comedy yet I didn't crack a smile, certain plot points remain hanging and when the final frame rolled past, I was left unsatisfied. The acting was solid and there were a few nice shots but the story fell short and I failed to emotionally mesh with it.
