Destroyer

THE GIST: A police detective, whose life and career seem to be in freefall, starts investigating a homicide when she realizes some clues hark back to a failed undercover assignment from her past, whose results have been haunting her since.

Destroyer is a pretty cool detective story with a few unexpected twists.

The real draw here is Nicole Kidman, who delivers one of her grittiest and most visceral performances ever.

The whole cast is top-notch, and includes Toby Kebbell, Tatiana Maslany, Sebastian Stan, Scoot McNairy, and Bradley Whitford.

THE BOTTOM LINE: A good movie, intense and well put together.

Grade: 7.5
