Pretty good

Rating: Null/10 (30 August 2014)

Sure, this is in no way original really. But the amount of heart it has is definitely surprising. It helps that the film is revolved around a pair of brothers, although The Fighter was too and for some reason that one just comes off across as way more superficial. This one has the right heart in mind. The three central performances are pretty fantastic, especially Edgerton who continues to be a very under-the- radar actor but is always pretty strong in what he appears in. Notle is also very strong in a meatier supporting role. Overall, this isn't anything too amazing, but it gets the job done and many people might need some tissues.
