Good but predictable

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2016)

So Leo finally won an Oscar. Most of his performance in this was a lot of grunting, screaming, groaning, more grunting. He kind of chews on a live fish a bit, that must've been the winning scene now that's commitment for a role. Tom Hardy is his usual annoying self, am I alone in not liking him much. Must be from that movie he did Charlie Bronson where he had his wang flopping around for half the movie, totally not needed at all. Revenant. Good movie I liked it, well shot, good locales, lots of violence always a plus. Shot with all natural light which is really interesting. Hmmm not very realistic. Ever heard of frostbite and hypothermia, getting wet in snow is very very bad especially out in the open, and with some bad wounds. Watching it half way through I realized Leo's character actually murders 2 frenchmen and steals a horse. It's a hanging time, he's a murderous criminal horse thief so I lost all sympathy for the character and wanted him to get what he deserved alas did not happen. Leo channels Rambo and Han Solo by jumping off a cliff into a tree and using a horse as a tauntaun, chuckle.
