17. Delivering raw emotion in his revenge-driven role in Out of the Furnace (2013)

In Out of the Furnace (2013), Bale acts as a man seeking revenge after his brother is murdered. The raw emotion that he carries throughout the film, from quiet determination to explosive rage, has been consonant to his play of the skill in portraying grief and vengeance. With this grippingly grudging performance, Bale showed that he was able to play even darker and more subdued roles with significant impact. With Bale's dedication to the inner turmoil of his character, the tragedy is enhanced.
