“Savage Salvation” (*1/2 out of four) was a listless melodrama about a recovering drug addict (Jack Huston) whose fiancé (Willa Fitzgerald) dies from an overdose and he seeks vengeance and his own form of capital punishment on the dealers who “killed her”. Meanwhile, the town sheriff (Robert De Niro) and a self-help guru (John Malkovich) try to intervene and settle things. Interesting moral questions about overdoses and drug dealers and accountability are overshadowed by third hand script and general plot tedium. De Niro sleepwalks through his role and at nearly 80 is a tad old to be playing a sheriff and Malkovich is wasted again in another easy paycheck role. Film should offer little “salvation” to these legends or their fans.
