The Yards (2000)

The Yards is James Gray's 2000 crime drama set amid New York's subway repair yards. Corruption and family loyalty drive its slow-burn, brooding story. Charlize Theron plays a rare grounded presence within that grim world. The site holds 1 scene from the film, catching her in a brief moment of undress that softens the picture's harder edges. It's a small but telling piece of Theron's early career, shot before she became one of Hollywood's biggest names.
