“Among The Beasts” (** out of four) was an emotionally hollow action melodrama about a former marine (Tory Kittles) who teams up with a gangster’s daughter (Libe Barer) to attempt to find her kidnapped cousin but finds that he must overcome his own personal and psychological struggles to save her- and himself. Uneven story takes too long to get going and film’s characters are difficult to care about and get involved in. Works best in its final third when it finally starts picking up some grit and intensity but it’s too late by that point. Not all that different in story from Denzel Washington’s 2004 “Man On Fire.”
