Kidman is great, but film's flashbacks pose more questions than they answer
Los Angeles is the unforgiving location in “Destroyer,” a crime thriller starring Nicole Kidman as LAPD cop Erin Bell, who, we learn through flashbacks, was sent undercover nearly 16 years ago with an FBI agent (Sebastian Stan) to infiltrate a gang of violent, ruthless bank robbers led by Silas (Toby Kebbell). Silas is still at large after the gang’s final job turned into a bloody nightmare that has led to Erin’s current, prematurely haggard look.<br /><br />Erin has long since ignored her appearance and is still of concern to her estranged partner Ethan (Scoot McNairy). Her troubled teenage daughter Shelby (Jade Pettyjohn) resents her and has been making some destructive choices. Her colleagues have lost respect for her as she goes about her day zombie-like, her face emotionless, as if her soul is dead. She becomes involved in another cop’s case involving a corpse with a gang tattoo on his neck, the same one Erin once had to get to convince the bad guys she was one of them. She realizes Silas is back and determines to bring him down and put her own toxic guilt behind her.<br /><br />Director Karyn Kusama has taken the police procedural and cast a female character in the lead. When we first see Kidman, she’s barely recognizable under Bill Corso’s make-up, which transforms her beautiful face into a grim mask — bloodshot eyes, sun-wrinkled skin, a misshapen nose, and heavy bags under the eyes. Erin has worked for years in the baking sun of Southern California and, physically, it has taken its toll. She walks like an older woman and, immersed in her own self-pity and despair, has lost the ability to smile. Her Erin has not been living; she’s been existing.<br /><br />Though Ms. Kidman is quite amazing in a role unlike any she’s undertaken previously, the film has its problems. Director Kusama uses an editing technique that switches back and forth in time. This takes a bit of getting used to and is initially confusing. In terms of pace, the movie is uneven, with long stretches of dialogue interspersed too infrequently with action. A film such as this should move briskly, but too many scenes go on too long or are repetitive. That Erin is trying to re-establish communication with her daughter may have been intended as a humanizing device but the daughter appears a convenient plot device instead. If the film had been trimmed by about ten minutes, it would have been tightened without giving up anything critical.<br /><br />The production design features location filming throughout Los Angeles. No scenes were shot in the studio, and this gives the film a gritty realism. The scenes are overwhelmingly bright, almost the way it looks to a person passing from a dark room into sunlight. The relentless sun and heat contrast with the dark, gloomy streets and back alleys typical of crime thrillers. Watching the movie, you’ll want a cold bottle of water nearby.<br /><br />The Blu-ray Combo Pack contains Blu-ray and DVD versions, along with a Digital code on a paper insert within the case. Bonus materials include two audio commentaries, a making-of documentary, and a photo gallery.
