Opens: December 6, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The middle class in America may be doing fairly well these days compared to its equivalents in the rest of the developed world, but we have a problem that\u2019s sad to report. That is the helter-skelter decline of the manufacturing industries as the big guys are outsourcing to China, Vietnam, India, Bangladesh, and other low-cost producers. \u201cOut of the Furnace,\u201d which opens in 2008, focuses on a Pennsylvania steel mill, which might make some in the audience wonder if this is an anachronism\u2014that there is even one such company left to knock out domestic steel. What may happen to the mill a few years down the road is anyone\u2019s guess, but Scott Cooper, in a movie he co-wrote with Ingelsby, features one young man who, unlike his brother, does not want to work in such a place. \u201cLook at what the mill did to our father,\u201d exclaims Rodney Baze Jr. (Casey Affleck) to his older brother Russell Baze (Christian Bale), noting that their dad is dying as a result of the pollutants that pour out of the North Braddock, PA mill. So far as Rodney is concerned, he\u2019d rather be signing for a fourth stint in Iraq notwithstanding that he saw an infant with his head cut off and rows of amputated feet lying in the road.<\/p>\n

If all this misery suggests that some Americans have given up their right to pursue happiness as our founding fathers would prefer, so be it. There\u2019s even more trouble brewing for the Baze family: director Cooper underscores the physical violence from the opening scene at a drive-in movie (yep, they still have those in Pennsylvania), where Curtis DeGroat (Woody Harrelson), thinking that his date (Dendrie Taylor) is laughing at him, grabs her hot dog, tosses the bun, and tries to shove the entire sausage down her throat. When a neighboring customer makes it his business to intervene, he gets flattened.<\/p>\n

If Woody Harrelson, so fragile and na\u00efve during his role as bartender Woody Boyd in TV\u2019s \u201cCheers,\u201d is a one-dimensional bad guy, Cooper and Ingelsby would not have it any other way. Harrelson\u2019s performance as Curtis DeGroat is without a single redeeming feature. He is a man who bets in the low-life fight clubs featuring contestants using bare fists and pummeling one another even when they\u2019re down. He is also the baddest baddie that the movie studios have produced this year. \u201cI have a problem with everyone,\u201d notes DeGroat. At least he\u2019s aware of his violent temper and his inability to avoid killing people who do not cough up money for his crystal meth habit.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of the Furnace\u201d is a fiercely critical look at the culture of the Rust Belt, in this case centered on the Carrie Furnace in Braddock PA where the picture is set. If Harrelson is the chief cynic and scuzz of the town, Casey Affleck\u2019s Rodney is the na\u00eff\u2014who gets himself into serious trouble by borrowing money to bet on the ponies and is forced to become a victim in the town\u2019s fight club to make money lest he wind up on a slab. Yet his chief creditor, bookie John Petty (Willem Dafoe), is a decent man who tries to talk Rodney out of putting his body on the line. The principal person in this exceptional ensemble cast, Russell Baze, is a generally good guy who works steadily in the mill, takes care of his sick dad, and even in one instance gets a deer within his telescopic sights and refrains from shooting. Yet because he accidentally kills a person while drunk driving and serves time in jail, he ranks among the sad cases for human beings that Cooper unfolds for us in this dismal place, a world away from the neighborhoods that most of us know.<\/p>\n

This is a macho pic, the un-chick flick, with Lena Warren (Z\u00f6e Saldana) as the only strong female, in the role of Russell\u2019s significant other who leaves her lover while he is in jail and teams up with the town\u2019s police chief, Wesley Barnes (Forest Whitaker). On the whole, \u201cOut of the Furnace\u201d puts on display a terrific ensemble of performers, an entry into the awards film category of 2013– a powerful melodrama but one which lacks the depth and nuances of fare like \u201cThe Deer Hunter.\u201d<\/p>\n
