has a way of making scene-stealing entrances, sometimes halfway through a movie, like when he showed up in “The King,” wearing long orange-blond tresses and a twisted leer, as the Dauphin of France, a lewdly dissipated flyweight troublemaker. He does it again in “,” a drama of sin and salvation and crime and violence and a whole lot of other heavy Christian noir stuff, set in southern rural Ohio from 1957 to 1965.
For Pattinson, playing a domineering Bible Belt sleaze is a cred move , and he does a stylish job of it. But the movie that surrounds him is a long and doughy mystery-dud. It turns out that everyone in the small town of Knockemstiff has something to hide, but we see all the rote dirty secrets, laid out like dishes at a potluck . And so the movie, directed and co-written by Antonio Campos, lacks the spark of discovery.
