Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
At its core it features a pair of heart rending performances that transcend the film's unsurprising terrain.

Rating: B --
This is a gem that should be sought out. Anchored by a strong cast, this effective drama captures the seedy underbelly of the working class.

Cooper makes one brilliant choice after another....Bale has given a number of memorable performances, but this just might be his best work to date.
Chicago Sun-Times
There's an impressive, lived-in authenticity about the movie, but it's bogged down by heavy-handed symbolism, rote storytelling and zero female characters of note (sorry Zoe Saldana). Well-made, but why?

It beats its chest in half-articulate rage. It may prompt you to go home and surf a home-shopping channel, or scour your DVD shelf for something long-forgotten starring Meg Ryan.

Rating: 3/5 --
There are flashes of what might have been, but for all its interesting characters and moments of brilliance, the film is never gripping nor, as it turns out, all that thrilling.

3 stars out of 4 -- Bale's is a pitch-perfect, understated performance in this involving neo-noir thriller. Just as impressive -- and blood-curdling -- is the menacing performance by Woody Harrelson.

Product Description:
A Rust Belt ex-con seeks redemption by avenging his brother's murder in this drama from CRAZY HEART writer/director Scott Cooper. The glimmer of a better life always just out of reach, Russell Baze (Christian Bale) dreams of starting a family with his girlfriend Lena (Zoe Saldana), and resolves to earn an honest living working in the same mill where his dying father did. Meanwhile, Russell's volatile younger brother Rodney (Casey Affleck) decides to serve his country by fighting in Iraq. Despite Russell's best intentions, however, his future starts to look grim when he is sent to prison following a deadly drunk-driving accident; at the same time, Rodney begins competing in illegal fights for local bar owner John Petty (Willem Dafoe), who owes a sizable debt to the very dangerous Harlan DeGroat (Woody Harrelson), a fight organizer/meth dealer who's way too into his own product. Later, after Russell is released from prison having missed his father's funeral, he is heartbroken to learn that Lena has become seriously involved with the local police chief, Wesley Barnes (Forest Whitaker). But heartache turns to anger when the desperate Rodney also gets mixed up with DeGroat, and winds up dead along with John Petty. Informed by Chief Barnes that Rodney's body has been found by a hunter, Russell, believing he has nothing to lose, recruits his loyal uncle Red (Sam Shepard) to help him seek revenge.
