| 04.12.14 | Netflix | Yeah this is a great movie. It's weird that it came and went especially since Crazy Heart got so much attention. Christian Bale plays a Pennsylvania steel worker and stuff happens. Great cast, believable story, wonderfully evocative setting... The plot felt very Pelecosian to me in that it took its time and never got outlandish and a lot of it was about the journey rather than waiting for some twist or turn yet the climax still felt satisfactory to me. Just a wonderfully subdued tense movie. And between True Detective and this, Woody Harrelson is on fire. I feel like this is in the same vein as Place Beyond the Pines, but I liked this way better (and not just because of that douche teen). Great movie. |
