Carefully made but slow and pointless

Rating: 6/10 (8 January 2016)

The movie is well and carefully made. It's the script and the story that bothers me. It is all crafted so that they could kill each other in the end.
The idea is that a bounty hunter takes one precious prisoner to get his reward. In the blizzard he is forced to stop at an inn in the middle of nowhere. Having 10000 dollars to cash on the prisoner he is too careless and behaves just like having a gun in his hand the whole time can save him from every trouble. He drinks coffee without worry, he stops for a few days in the middle of nowhere in an unknown house, whose owner is nowhere to be seen, he brags with his prisoner, etc.
On the other hand, the black major smells that something is off, but does not do anything, and starts by killing the only harmless man in the plot...
The story could have ended in the moment the bounty hunter and the female prisoner entered the caban: shoot him on the spot and leave the others outside in the cold... That's what feels off, the fact that the story is told so that it lasts longer.
As for the whole minutes spent showing scenery, or the two men planting poles to reach the toilet, it's just a waste of time.
Conclusion: overly violent movie (predictable), with questionable plot, lengthened just for the sake of telling a longer story.
