“The Dirty South” (** out of four) was a morose melodrama crime-thriller about a bartender (Willa Holland) who has to fight back with everything she has to prevent an organized crime ring (Dermot Mulroney, Shane West, etc.) from taking over her bar which leads to things getting really ugly in the Louisiana bayou where they all converge. Pretty routine and tedious with expected plot turns and events although Holland’s strong performance and atmospheric lensing from Jess Dunlap help to keep it watchable.
