“No Place” (*1/2 out of four) was a rudderless melodrama about a wannabe stand-up comic (Benjamin Madrid) who becomes embroiled in a scam in the Midwest involving his ex-flame (Afton Shepard) which proves more complicated and more dangerous than he was expecting and puts him at an unexpected crossroads in his life. For a movie about a comedian, it’s pretty witless and while we’re at it pretty hazy and flat also. “No Story” would have been a better title for this timewaster. Madrid also co-wrote the script.
