How sad is this?

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A Masterpiece!

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

When Rodney Baze mysteriously disappears and law enforcement doesn't follow through fast enough, his older brother, Russell, takes matters into his own hands to find justice. Out of the Furnace is a gritty, depressing and very much entertaining drama that elevates from excellent perfomances by Christian Bale, Casey Affleck and Woody Harrelson. This is a very slow paced movie and it's definitely not for everyone and i know that but if you give it the chance to move you and basically to entertain you you'll see that it was worth the price. (8/10)

Don't get me wrong, this movie had best of intentions but man o man did it feel middle of the road. The problem with Scott cooper in general is he feels like his movies are better than it actually is.He feels like he is creating this deep character study but the dialogue is just middle of the road.Its just meh. So if a critic or audience looks at this movie just for what it is , it feels so generic to the point of pointless.Advice for Scott cooper "If you want to make a generic story which feels deep, film making has to be on another level, not production design.Any one can get 30 million to make this movie if Christian bale is the star of the movie.What do you use it for is important."Whole movie just felt cliched with none of the epicness of Revenant. So audience isn't seeing any visuals that are blowing them away nor is the story any good.

It only has the fault of having done it in a large part in the general plane and thus losing a large part of the force. But it's one of the best character presentations I've seen in a long time. In a few seconds, accurate, fast, accurate. All presented of this character. Casey is well presented but not so much and the worst is Bale. He needs a lot of time to introduce him. Too many sequences and too many planes.One of the things I do not like about this movie is that it has about thirty minutes of film left over. Why do I say it? From the presentation of Woody until it comes back out, if I remember correctly, spend almost fifty minutes. He is telling us other things that I think we are not interested in, or half repeating. It is not necessary to see so much of Casey that it is repeated, it is not necessary to see so much of Bale that we are not interested. Or he decides to tell the story of the brothers and Woody or decides to tell the stories of the brothers, but the two can not be told. You do not really know which one is telling you. Once Harrelson comes out again, that's all, this story, then he really was interested in this story and not the other.The actors are all splendid, everyone has their brilliant moments. They are all consecrated actors making a film without a budget and leaving their skin behind.Apart there are faults that I see that I do not believe, I explain them in the spoiler zone.Photography, I understand that in America, fortunately, independent film works and that there are such films, never have a photograph, then when they have shown they are good, they have a budget and they have photography, but of course for the film, photography, He supports with nothing. Does not exist.The direction, the problem for my taste, is that it pretends to explain too much about the characters and it is repeated and lost and the story is gone. He does not know how to make beautiful shots or to have the camera. In fact, there are times when the camera passes without a foreground to general and foreground, with what I get out of the narrative.No instant movie is a movie that is worth watching. Just to see the three of them and see a movie with a background, not just shots and revenge.Spoiler: I can not imagine an American policeman at the end of the movie acting like that, and least of all that character. And the truth is that I was watching the movie and I do not believe that as we know the characters of Bale and Woody, that the story continues as follows. I was watching the movie and I thought how was going to lose Woody used to that life he leads.

It was definitely a waste of 2 hours but I couldn't sleep so what the heck, I watched it. I feel badly for people who spent money to see this dreck. At least on cable there are subtitles so I could read what the actors were mumbling!I'd ask how so many good actors could make such a boring movie, but unfortunately these days that's becoming more common.
