Out of the Furnace is a revenge movie that doesn't feature very much revenge.The film paints a portrait of modern America that is bleak and weary. Russell can barely make ends meet in his job at the local steel mill, while Rodney, in throes of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, bounces from gambling to bare-knuckle fighting in an attempt to regain some level of post-war normalcy.
