With an all-star cast that includes Christian Bale, Zoe Saldana, Woody Harrelson, Willem Dafoe, Forest Whitaker and Casey Affleck, Out of the Furnace follows Bale as Russel Baze, an ex-convict lured into a confrontation with a powerful crime ring. When his brother (Affleck) comes back from war, gets involved with the wrong people and mysteriously disappears, Bale’s Baze will do anything to find his brother and get revenge.
Scott Cooper of Crazy Heart directs what looks like it could be either an award-garnishing drama piece or a more straight-forward genre thriller. Take a look at the trailer and see if you think this is more awards-bait of pure, genre fun.
