Unbelievable screenplay, slow pace and age old story

Rating: 6/10 (22 January 2016)

There is a scene in this movie where a rider and his horse fall off the cliff. A healthy horse. And a sick, bear mauled, hungry barely surviving rider. Surprise! the horse dies and the rider survives. A man is shown to catch fish with bare hands, eat raw buffalo, go hungry for days. And he still survive fairly strong and able. There is no emotional connect that the audience is able to develop with the characters. The key villain is the only realistic character. Also, annoyingly the protagonist keeps remembering a line by his dead wife all through the movie about how branches shake but not the stem. This line finds no meaning whatsoever in the drama. Still this line is repeated like 10 times. Its such a silent screenplay I fell asleep twice.
