Out of the Furnance

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

A long, boring, but well acted, movie about how being poor sucks. If that isn't the message, I don't know what is...

The trailers seemed to portray this movie as Christian Bale searching for his missing brother, and while it's kind of about that an hour into the movie, the real movie is really just about how it sucks to be poor.

There is NOTHING uplifting about this movie at all. Not even the ending where the inevitable takes place.

Want to see how to get an all-star cast into one movie and waste all the assembled talent? See this movie.

Isn't that the premise behind the Ocean's... remakes?
