Out of the Furnace is a predictable gritty revenge movie where the characters live depressing lives.It was a predictable movie and slow paced but worth a watch.Christian Bale plays a different character and has good chemistry with Casey Affleck,which they both play as brothers. Willem Dafoe shows up as a fight promoter but he is wasted as well as Forest Whitaker,Zoe Saldana,Sam Shepard.They could of been replaced by other actors.The character in the movie that stood out the most was Harlan DeGroat(Woody Harrelson).He is definitely the one you grow to hate and affects all the people that are around him.He has a little of Mickey Knox from Natural Born Killers in him.Bale shows emotion and plays the opposite from the crazy tough guy,selfish roles you usually see him in.Casey Affleck wasn't bad at all either.The end was a little weak because Harlan doesnt really get to pay for what he has done.Out of the furnace was a box office bomb making half of its budget of 22 million.It felt like it was cheaper though.
