“1922” (*1/2 out of four) was a practically lifeless story set in 1922 about an impoverished farmer (Thomas Jane) who is down on his luck and conspires with his teenage son (Dylan Schmid) to kill his wife (Molly Parker) for financial gain but they find a tough road living happily ever after. Unpleasant and uninvolving story has no energy or style and thus has no impact. The usually dependable Jane is hammy and his accent is laughable at times. Similar story was told in “Killer Joe” back in 2012 with much more style and fire. Based on a short story by Stephen King and it should have stayed short.
