Hollywood lies make dull 3 hours

Rating: 3/10 (23 December 2015)

The story of Hugh Glass was quite astonishing but the Leo version managed to turn this true story of survival into a daft revenge flick. The scenery was quite breath-taking but the acting was far from that. Based on a true story but with practically every scene made up nonsense.
Making Fitzgerald kill his imaginary son to set up the revenge element Glass then walks through a boring sub-plot about some Indian looking for his daughter before gaining said revenge.
The reality was so much more interesting but sadly reality is a word Hollywood has never heard of. So we get a poorly executed revenge scenario culminating in a big fight which ties up the two plots in a bow for the audience.
Hugh Glass had a really interesting life and his walk to safety would have been really inspirational to those that heard about it. The film of his 'life' sadly was pretty boring and dragged on and on for well over an hour too much. Leo is a great actor and played his part well enough but the tale was poorly served by those involved in the movie production. Another disappointing film that promised so much.
