“The Martyr Maker” (*1/2 out of four) was a wandering misfire about a young American-born Muslim (Alexander Mercier) who struggles with his Islamic roots and becomes susceptible to terrorist groups who attempt to recruit him while a rogue agent from the Feds (Tom Sizemore) attempts to bring him down and save the city. Scattershot story veers from heavy-handed character drama to weak action thriller, with an over-the-top Sizemore chewing and throwing up the scenery. At this point, he has become an undenial “martyr” of bad living.
