“Mob Land” (*1/2 out of four) was an enervated small-town crime melodrama about a cynical sheriff (John Travolta) who tries to keep the peace when a family man (Jake Arzola) and his brother-in-law (Kevin Dillon) plot a criminal act which alerts the attention of a violent enforcer (Stephen Dorff) from the New Orleans mafia and a bloodbath and crossfire ensues. Hungover mixture of elements from the Coen Bros. and also the similarly titled “Cop Land”; Dorff stands out as usual but most of the other cast are completely wasted.
