Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri

The violence, depth and moral ambiguity fit the McDonagh bill, and though the characters are astoundingly strong and fantastically flawed, the scripting is looser than Bruges, and the ending less inevitable. Occasional comedic moments stretch too far tonally, but the drama definitely delivers while McDormand and Rockwell, well… they rock.

The Bourne Legacy

Apparently Renner isn’t the solution to every problem, as indicated by the lack of energy in this deboot of the Bourne franchise.  Tired story, predictable plotting, Norton’s Strathairn, and plot holes big enough for Paul Greengrass to escape through all conspire to prevent operation Bourne Again from having any success.
