Candace Cameron Bure Responds to Miss Benny's Claims of Homophobic Behavior on 'Fuller House' Set

Joe Leydon Film Critic Writer-director Nicholas Maggio may not have intended to be self-critical when, fairly early in his debut feature “Mob Land,” he has one character observe to another about their failing small Southern town, “This whole place has become a fucking cliché.” But the longer this slackly paced rural noir continues, the more that dialogue seems in retrospect like fair warning.
