Pretty but boring

Rating: 6/10 (19 January 2016)

I guess this film is OK if you like 2.5 hours of un-narrated Bear Grylls with some landscape shots to act as filler content. Leonardo DeCaprio and Tom Hardy deliver brilliant acting, but they can't save a boring plot in a film that should have been at least an hour shorter. Its a big production with great costumes, great acting and great visuals... the problem is that nothing happens. Its not an art film like e.. Valhalla Rising where you can enjoy the slow pace since the producer is trying to do something different. Here you just fall asleep and the only thing keeping you awake is the expectation that the star cast will somehow save it in the end. Too bad they don't
