We’re in the “try anything once” phase of Russell Crowe’s career, and he’s wearing it well.

The makers of “Land of Bad” mostly reduce their movie’s antagonists to generic obstacles for Kinney, except for a few key scenes that strain to establish why they’re actually the worst.

Moments presumably conceived to create suspense... merely contribute to its longueurs.

It is kind of ironic how I have just seen Land of Bad and yet I could genuinely not tell you what it was about. And this is the biggest flaw of the film: it is missing its heart, the very reason why it should have been made in the first place.
