One of the best movies of the year along with possibly the best performance of DiCaprio's career.

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2016)

"As long as you can still grab a breath, you fight." Hugh Glass (DiCaprio) is leading a group of fur trappers through treacherous territory with the help of his son. While out scouting he comes across a pair of bear cubs, then the mother finds him. When he is found he is barely alive. Not wanting to leave him behind the group attempts to carry him to their destination but the mountains prove to be a obstacle. Two men agree to stay behind with him, but for different reasons. John Fitzgerald's (Hardy) greed gets the better of him and he kills Glass's son and leaves him for dead. Glass fights back and is now on a quest for revenge. There is only one thing to say about this movie. WOW. Intense, nerve wracking, infuriating, hopeful and inspiring all at the same time. DiCaprio is just incredible in this. He is captivating even though he doesn't speak for a lot of it. This is a movie I could just go on and on about but this is a film that just needs to be viewed and not talked about. The only real negative thing I can say about this is I don't think I could watch it again, it is just really too intense for repeated viewings. When you watch it yourself you will see what I mean. Overall, One of the best movies of the year along with possibly the best performance of DiCaprio's career. He has come a long way since Titanic. I give this an A.
