Christian Bale as Russell Baze
you will see an incredible by Christian Bale as he played Russell who is a steel plant worker going to harsh time, with his brother, you can see his performance close to The Machinist (2004) and 3:10 to Yum(2007), which brings his eyes more to play than his physic.
Casey Affleck as Rodney Baze Jr.
No wonder he is good, but in this movie you find him better you can see in him a war refuge, who cant just go away with is army life and the sins he committed, in fact he plays the heart of the story to make it move.
Woody Harrelson as Harlan DeGroat\
Woody goes for the wrong guy this time and plays this well like the best.he plays a gambler who comes across Rodney(Casey Afflectk),and makes a mess of the whole worst the brothers are in.
Zoe Saldana as Lena Taylor
Zoe plays the beauty part of furnace, however not so involved in the story line. she is an important play in the movie, and adds the sense of emotion to the Russell(Bale).
Forest Whitaker as Chief Wesley Barnes
Mr Forest goes for a cop this time, he comes in half way the movie and manages to get into the story.
Overall:
The movie captures the most beautiful locations ever in Scott Cooper movies. He manages to get in the emotions of the charters well enough but fails to give a happy ending.this movie happens to having one of the best music you will ever hear
