A modern day version of 'Jeremiah Johnson'...

Rating: 7/10 (15 January 2016)

I liked this film because LDC stated afterwards that "it's about time that Indigenous People get the fair treatment they deserve" .. or something along those lines.
I made reference to when Robert Redford starred in Jeremiah Johnson because Redford also played the role of the mountain man just like LDC did in this film except that this film had more realistic looking scenes. But personally I don't think LDC should have starred in this film at all because he just doesn't have that historical mountain man look. In fact, I think someone like Kevin Costner should have been given the role of Hugh Glass because of his previous role in 'Dances with Wolves'. Costner's role in the 1990 film would have been synonymous with the role of Hugh Glass. This was NOT the kind of film where LDC would be in. I mean this isn't his kind of role: the outdoorsy kind of actor where you would normally see him. Some actors fit in perfectly with their roles but with LDC should NOT have been contacted by the other film crew to play the part. Some will agree with that one.
I found this film to be about survival ... how we all have to survive throughout life. It was a perfect way to convey the message through this film in a historical setting based on the factual account on Hugh Glass's struggle to survive in such harsh natural environments. I've always been a huge fan of films based on historical accounts where Native Indigenous People are involved.
Anyways... I gave this one a 7 out of 10.
