“Measure Of Revenge” (*1/2 out of four) was a muddled psychodrama about a theater actress (Melissa Leo) whose son (Jake Weary) dies from an accidental drug overdose and she then begins her own investigation tracking down the dealer (Bella Thorne) who sold him the drugs and they actually become friends (!) as she goes through her own personal odyssey of deciding whether to avenge her son’s death or not. Potentially interesting moral storyline of whether a drug dealer is responsible for a drug user’s death or not completely eludes the makers of this mess; film’s story goes in all different directions but still goes nowhere slowly.
