Review of Out of the Furnace (2013) by Tyler S — 24 Mar 2014
The atmosphere of this film is gritty, bleak and menacing -- much like 2010's Winter's Bone. But it's even slower than Winter's Bone in plot development. Despite the exceptional cast, the actors were under-utilized.
Fans of Christian Bale will be disappointed -- it's not one of his typical, stand-out performances. Because of these issues, I couldn't give Out of The Furnace anything more than an average rating.
However, on the bright side, this has to be just about the only movie where I can say Woody Harrelson delivered a commendable performance.
