Review of Out of the Furnace (2013) by Amboy — 23 Dec 2013
This is a sledgehammer of a film. Showing life in a backwater, the film powerfully makes you feel the hard choices its characters must make between working in a mill or turning to crime. Bale turns in his customarily fine work, but Casey Affleck is the real revelation of the film.
The acting and direction are note perfect. It is nobody's idea of a Christmas movie and should have been released at a different time.
