       I never been more entertained by a movie that ultimately p*sses
       me off than I did with Three Billboards Outside Ebbing,
       Missouri. I didn't know anything about the story other than it
       was "Based on a True Story". I went into this with nothing else.
       Like I said, the movie was great for all it's idiosyncrasies and
       unique characters that make up the movie. All I knew was that
       Frances McDormand was in this. So, it was a nice surprise to see
       the likes of Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, John Hawkes, Sandy
       Martin, Željko Ivanek and Peter Dinklage pop up in the movie.
       The two main characters that really carry the film belong to
       Frances and Sam...and to a lesser degree Woody. But it's these
       two characters that drive the story and move things forward. As
       a viewer, we are meant to feel and act a certain way toward
       Sam's character (very, very unlikable). But then a few kind
       woods from Woody can in fact change a person's life and give
       them a sense of direction moving forward. Now we have a
       redemption story....one that I was truly on-board for. And
       then......that Ending. Ugh. Why? Why leave the viewer cheated
       like that? That is the stuff that really irks me. This isn't the
       first time this has happened. It's happened plenty of times
       before and everytime I feel like I want to beat the sh*t out of
       both the Director and Writer for this. I don't want it to be
       left to me to "think whatever you think the ending is....". It's
       lazy writing. With that said, the movie up till the ending is a
       fascinating watch. And I'm surprise that I can still give this
       movie 4 Stars given how it ends. Ugh, still can't get over the
       ending. Ugggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh!!!!
       FYI, with Frances being in the movie, I absolutely, 100% thought
       this was going to be a Coen Brothers film based on the title of
       the movie because THAT is definitely a title they would use.
