“A Score To Settle” (** out of four) was a muddled melodrama about an ex-convict (Nicolas Cage) who returns home after 22 years of wrongful imprisonment and seeks vengeance on his former mob cohorts (Benjamin Bratt, Mohamed Karim, and others) and simultaneously tries to rebuild a relationship with his estranged son (Noah Le Gros). Cage is good in an unusual role for him but story wanders and is limited in its emotional power and thus never excels as a pulp-revenge thriller nor as a character study. Cage actually played a similar character in “Gone In 60 Seconds” with more juice. A middling “Score” at best.
