What Doesn’t Kill You (2008) 6/10

Starring : Ethan Hawke, Mark Ruffalo, Amanda Peet
Director : Brian Goodman
Running Time : 101 mins

Small time criminal and alcoholic Brian Reilly (Ruffalo) is trying his best to get back on the straight and narrow and sort out his life, but his best friend Paulie McDougan (Hawke) convinces him to get involved in one last big job – the robbery of an armoured car that will set them up for life.

Based on the life of director Brian Goodman, this is a pretty boring and unconvincing movie that tries its best to portray realistic characters but ends up giving us characters that are one-dimensional and dull. Hawke and Ruffalo aren’t that great in this movie, and it’s little surprise it took five years for this to get a straight to DVD release in the UK.
