If you loved Out of the Furnace, try The Pale Blue Eye

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Scott Cooper, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Out of the Furnace, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Pale Blue Eye is

West Point, 1830, a cadet's body sways. A heart cut out, a reluctant detective, a young Edgar Allan Poe. Scott Cooper revisits darkness through a literary lens.
