I found the characters to be extremely dull and boring. Lester Nygard (Martin Freeman), Loren Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton), etc. Have put out such terrific performances in the TV show that right from the beginning of this film I found these characters in the film to be uninteresting.

Now considering how gripping the TV show was and me enjoying every episodes in it, I was expecting this film to be faced paced but I just couldn't enjoy it, ergo found it boring. The screenplay fails to engage you and since I personally didn't like these movie characters, found their actions tone stupid and silly.

Yes I know that the show didn't come out until about 18 years after the movie and I kinda get why it may have been such a huge deal back then. But I speak from a modern day viewer's perspective. In today's day and age I don't see anyone enjoying this movie, and especially since the show has already been made.

The TV show is one of the greatest shows I've seen (also S02 is brilliant although a different story) and is far superior to this film in every was, especially the characters who are so much more interesting and likeable unlike the film.
