Rumble Through the Dark | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Aaron Eckhart has made a career out of over-performing in vehicles that don’t deserve him. He’s all sinew and bone here, spitting blood, tearing up motel rooms, hallucinating about his past. He elevates the entire film.

Aaron Eckhart elevates Rumble Through the Dark with a stunningly intense physical performance. The film packs a wallop at times but often meanders with a sluggish script and questionable directorial decisions.

[T]he tone here is all over the place, too, but that shouldn't come as much of a surprise, considering how inconsistent the movie's plot, characters, and basic filmmaking are.

“Rumble Through the Dark” is a promising but weighted down thriller that gets by mostly on the shoulders of Eckhart. The material may not do him many favors, but he pours himself into his role which makes the story’s shortcomings a bit easier to maneuver.

The directors bring some style to the picture, helping to turn a lengthy journey into agony into something cinematic, while Smith does a capable job of escalation, taking the long way around to a rough conclusion that finds its intended emotionality.
