Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2015)

This skyrocketed straight into my top 3 movies of the year and was a great experience all around.
First of this was a great story dealing with a survival story fueled on revenge when a personal injustice occurs. The set pieces look amazing but also gives you a good picture on how cold and desolate this place really is that there all struggling thru.
It goes from bad to worse when the main character gets attacked by a bear and is severely wounded by that. While to sick to move he witnesses his son getting killed over racial differences and he himself is left for death.
Barely recovered he goes after the killer and will do anything to survive so he can avenge his son's death. Writing it down like this it seems very "black and white" but there are a lot of Grey areas but they are more subtle like in facial expressions or things not said.
I got in to the movie pretty fast and was somewhat surprised it has a 2 and a half hour running time because the time just flew by.
Highly recommend it.
If you haven't seen it,go watch it now.
An awesome western/adventure.
