I remember watching Out Of The Furnace, @nonoise .
If you enjoy movies with a theme of despair, check out Animals (2014). It is not an action movie and has no big names, but if follows two heroin addicts (Jude and Bobbie) from good families who are living in a car, and what they do to obtain heroin. I wouldn't think it would have taken much of a budget to make this movie, but I thought it was surprisingly well done. There is a scene I remember where the female lead says to the male lead something to the effect of "why would two kids from reasonably good families end up doing this," and the male lead answers something to the effect of, "I don't know babe; why do birds keep flying into picture windows?" (I doubt I got those quotes 100% word for word.)
