“Back In The Day” (*1/2 out of four) was an unpleasant and uninvolving melodrama about as artificial as the fake NYC accents the characters use set in the late 80’s in Brooklyn when a young boxer (William Demeo) is taken under the wing of the local mob boss (Michael Madsen who could play this role in his sleep by now and does in some scenes) and becomes involved in the underbelly of the sports and criminal underworld. Unlikely derivation of “Rocky” and “Mean Streets” is crippled by Demeo’s lack of charisma and likeability. Livened up a little by strong supporting cast including Shannon Doherty, Alec Baldwin, and Danny Glover but they all made better movies back in the day.
