What Doesn't Kill You

What Doesn't Kill You is a crime movie starring both Ethan Hawke and Mark Ruffalo. The two grow up working for crime familes and soon venture out to start their own business of mafia-like origins. Ruffalo gets too caught up in the drugs and Hawke, more into the robbery and it leads them both down a dark and dangerous path. Fortunately Ruffalo is able to redeem himself and straighten out for his wife and kids. They were alway theorizing about robbing an armored car and all the crimes they were committing their whole lives culminates into one final decision to get their one BIG heist.
I've been a fan of Ethan Hawke since he first starred in The Explorers as a space travelling12 year old. Since then he has continuously made some great films. Training Day sealed the deal for me. Ruffalo does a great job too as a drug addict/theif. Together they have a great brotherly chemistry and their roles are very realistic. Any fan of crime films will enjoy this true story.
