“Mob Handed” (** out of four) was a well-made but unpleasant Redbox underworld crime melodrama about a female journalist who joins a vigilante group after her daughter is murdered and the child molester and killer is set free by the courts. Stylishly directed by Liam Galvin and features some interesting commentary on the criminal justice system and the grief many victims have to endure but it’s overshadowed by film’s excessive violence and dour tone. Over 40 years later, “Death Wish” is still being retooled and remade in multiple films.
