I think he is just below the mark to be a great director. I have seen all his movies and for the most part the common complaint is performances are great but story is uneven or weak. He seems to be emulating other great movies...slow pace, dark movies, macho men crying and seemingly complex characters that are just executed like someone is dissecting those complexities...I always get the feeling that he is up his own ass in interviews and he has all the self indulgence of innaritu but none of his talent...what’s your thoughts? He may not be that popular so I will give his movies...crazy heart,out of the furnace,Black mass and hostiles
Thoughts on director Scott Cooper
If you look up his interviews online he talks like a profound artist but you shouldn't talk like that if your movies are not getting awards attention.

I haven't seen any of his movies and don't think I probably well. I can't actually say I'd even heard of them before, or him.

I haven't seen any of his films, at least a picture that he's directed. If he ever gets around to making a PG-13 movie, I'll sure check him out..

I've only seen 2. I thought he showed great promise with Out of the Furnace but it all disappeared with the very weak Black Mass.

I though Out of the Furnace was quite nice little movie. Nothing spectacular but like @cricket above says, promising. Hostiles, on the other hand, was totally aimless and extremely dull film. Don't remember why but I had some expectations for that film too and it ended up being a major disappointment.
I didn't even realize they were done by the same director before I read the OP.
