Revenge wins out!

Rating: 5/10 (20 January 2016)

A 2.5 hour harrowing walk in the woods...........that is basically the story.
I realize that for the "pseudo intellectuals" who are all the black and white film converts,the cinematography has merit, that is if you live in a colorless world but I personally enjoy movies that have some color. By watching the film you will learn some survival techniques but really, is this what you want? There is walking and more walking with some gore (the highlights) in a bleak environment. Kudos to DiCaprio to have survived the filming in these conditions, but it wasn't deserving of a Golden Globe and certainly will not be deserving of an Oscar, although he will probably win it. The dialogue is non-existent, but grimaces of the painful experience seem to be what the film underlines. The film is way too long and quite boring. A DOWNER.
