Kosinski knows how to make a movie look great. From Tron to Oblivion and now Only The Brave, all have a unique, but beautiful look. I will continue to get excited and look forward to more films he’s attached to, just because I know I’ll at least be in for a visual treat.
The plus side with this movie is along with a beautifully shot film, there was some pretty solid acting. Miles Teller and Jennifer Connelly stand out, but the real shock to me was Taylor Kitsch. I’ve been a fan since Friday Night Lights and seeing him carry the weight of the “B story” characters was great. He is capable of a leading role and should be given more chances. The emotional gut shot at the end would not have been nearly as effective without the great supporting cast.
