“Normal” (** out of four) was a lukewarm crime melodrama about a small-town sheriff (Ben Odenkirk) temporarily moved to the town of Normal, Minnesota when he is thrust in the midst of a bank robbery that uncovers dark and deadly secrets about the town as a whole. Stark and crisp cinematography from Armando Salas and solid lead performance from Odenkirk keep this on track for a little while but script, story, and characters aren’t really all that compelling. Odenkirk also co-produced and co-wrote.
