Already blazing a brutal and bleak trail in the US, we in the UK must wait until early in the New Year for writer/director Scott Cooper’s harsh revenge thriller OUT OF THE FURNACE. The superbly cast violent crime flick sees Christian Bale’s Russell Baze on the ruthless warpath to locate his beloved war veteran brother Rodney (Casey Affleck) after becoming mixed-up with Woody Harrelson’s local organised crime figure.
Check out this brand new featurette & UK poster for the film co-starring Forest Whitaker, Willem Dafoe, Sam Shepard, Zoe Saldana and is released in the UK 31st February 2014.
From Scott Cooper, the critically-acclaimed writer and director of Crazy Heart, comes a gripping and gritty drama about family, fate, circumstance, and justice. Russell Baze (Christian Bale) has a rough life: he works a dead-end blue collar job at the local steel mill by day, and cares for his terminally ill father by night. When Russell’s brother Rodney (Casey Affleck) returns home from serving time in Iraq, he gets lured into one of the most ruthless crime rings in the Northeast and mysteriously disappears. The police fail to crack the case, so—with nothing left to lose—Russell takes matters into his own hands, putting his life on the line to seek justice for his brother.
