A lot of people seem to have a problem with the pace of the film, calling it a slog to sit through. I disagree and think that the pace is fine, but could do without the non-linear storytelling. In all fairness, unless your name is Quentin Tarantino, I probably won't like your non-linear storytelling.
Sandwiched between depressing insight into Kidman's rugged, washed up detective, are some unexpectedly impactful moments of tensity. The bank heist scene and its subsequent street pursuit knocked my socks off. If you're expecting an action packed epic that's straight to the point, then you might be left needing more; if you don't mind a drama about the aftermath of failure, and the pain of living with your mistakes dressed like a grungy cop thriller then Destroyer may satisfy.
