Il fuoco della vendetta - Out of the Furnace

To be honest, after watching the trailer, i watched this movie only cause it had Bale in it. But it turned out to be surprisingly good with strong performances from everyone involved. Casey Affleck and Zoe Saldana deliver good work on screen. Woody Harelson is also very convincing as the Red neck villain. The director has managed to paint a pretty vivid picture of the environment that he wanted to portray. The storytelling is very engaging. Thumbs up to the director and his team for this effort. In the end, no review can be complete without praising the man who continues to amaze with each performance, Christian Bale. Believable and heart warming in this one. He manages to accomplish the one thing which was most needed from anyone who played this character and that is being able to get the audience to empathize with it. Bale succeeds and then some. Clearly one of his best works till date, and he has an impressive resume already to choose from. A must Watch movie of 2013.

Star studded cast, including one of the greats of this generation, Christian Bale. The acting is phenomenal. Harrelson always makes a great psycho. Scott Cooper is undeniably one of Hollywood's more distinguished directors of intense movies, and just as capable as anyone at evoking emotional power through a camera.

With all of that said, 'Out of the Furnace' has a slow, yet constant pace. It never has a moment where it really picks up. I believe this to be quite purposeful, as it emphasis the hopelessness and depression of both the characters and it's setting.

A good sense of realism though out the film. Nothing was too exaggerated, and was really quite believable.

All star cast, probably one of the best that have come together in a film. Ever. Every one at the top of their game. Score fit perfectly. It's not a Hollywood action, Not over the top and not boring either. It doesn't fixate too much on anything in particular and just tells it's story coherently. You can't get too much better than that. A script with touch of sincerity, with a director whom knew exactly where to take it, and actors and actresses able to sink into the roles and bring it to life. It's not the most amazing movie I've ever seen but it's a masterpiece of sorts, for sure.

The story was interesting and shows once again the injustice in life. The action was varied and it didn't get boring. Overall, a good drama with a fair ending.

This is one among the finest movies i have ever seen. One of the best performances by Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson. A must watch. I don't know why it's so low rated.
