While Domingo acquits himself just fine as an increasingly frenzied man on the lam, “The Madness” itself is a schlocky mess, its pulpy appeal dimmed by a drawn-out runtime and attempts at social commentary that fail to find their mark.
-
What first-rate actors always say about the movies they do is that good writing is paramount; without it, nothing works. Or, as in “The Madness,” very little. Created by Stephen Belber (“What We Do Now”), “The Madness” is the kind of story that is thoroughly cooked up.
-
Its commentary is fatally muddled. There are so many logical holes, so much unclear, that “The Madness” can frustrate. Conspiracy thrillers are like boats: Too many holes, and they sink.
