A great cast (Christian Bale, Woody Harrelson, Casey Afleck, Willem Dafoe, Forest Whitaker - the list goes on) wasted on a dark, dour film that had some high spots, but ones that were overshadowed by the whole, heavy piece.Bale and Afleck live in a depressed steel mill town - Bale works at the mill, Afleck is recently returned from Afghanistan. Afleck tries to earn some money fist fighting and ends up running foul of local hick Harrelson, who runs fights in dilapidated country barns while dealing drugs to his fellow hicks.
But they all live miserable lives, and this ended up a miserable film.
