Destroyer | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

On paper, Destroyer is your standard cop drama, but it's elevated by a superb performance by Kidman and storytelling that remains focused on the human cost of police work instead of any particular case.

Kusama manages the neat trick of keeping her storytelling clear enough to understand, but tricky enough to hold off on some crucial information.

Destroyer should have been satisfyingly better than what we got. It deserved more based on Kusama's previous record of Jennifer's Body and The Invitation. Kidman keeps the interest levels high enough, but it's not sufficient to save it in a mix-bag affair

The breadcrumbs never really feel like they're adding up to anything and the mystery, such as there is one, is largely unengaging.

Nicole Kidman may well be the first performer to deserve Oscars for both Best Actress and Best Supporting actress - for the same role in the same movie.
