What people are saying
- AstroNoud★ 8/10
‘Out of the Furnace’ tells a gripping - although somewhat predictable - story, that focuses mainly on its characters and their emotions, choices and motives. The cast here is truly exceptional, especially Bale and Harrelson, delivering real and raw performances. 8/10
