Destroyer's user reviews

As 'Destroyer' progresses, Kidman peels back Erin?s scars one after the other and you see the soul of a woman trying to make things right any way she knows how.

Nicole Kidman goes dark - and nearly unrecognizable - in a role that all but obliterates the idea that audiences require likable protagonists (...) destroys the standard confines of what an actress can do on-screen

Maintains a fascinating thematic focus (...) The movie features a structural complexity that becomes increasingly clear

Nicole Kidman with a challenging role that takes her to a variety of extreme places, both physical and mental (...) As ambitious and sometimes unsettling as it is, the film, after crossing back and forth over the line many times

Is this the best performance of Kidman?s career? It very well might be. That alone is a reason to see ?Destroyer.? But there are other reasons, including the film?s crackling action sequences and suspense

Kidman, to her credit, goes all in, but it?s hard to ignore the neon sign over her head that keeps flashing "See? I?m Acting!".

Kidmans transformation and some timeframe trickery can?t mask a plot that feels rather empty (...) It?s a mechanical noir dressed up as something more substantial and this is especially felt in an ending that drowns in unearned profundity
