Film Preview: Out of the Furnace

The second feature film from director Scott Cooper who previously did Crazy Heart with Jeff Bridges back in 2009. The film has Leonardo DiCaprio and Ridley Scott as producers which surely must have helped in bringing together an ensemble cast including Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson and Forest Whittaker to name just four. Zoe Saldana also moves over from the big blockbuster action movies into this crime drama.

Christian Bale as Russell Baze
Russell Baze (Bale) and his younger brother Rodney Jr. (Affleck) live in the economically-depressed Rust Belt, and have always dreamed of escaping and finding better lives. But when a cruel twist of fate lands Russell in prison, his brother is lured into one of the most violent and ruthless crime rings in the Northeast – a mistake that will almost cost him everything. Once released, Russell must choose between his own freedom, or risk it all to seek justice for his brother.

Out of the Furnace is released in the UK on 31st January 2014.
