A National Geographic documentary interrupted by scenes of the most extreme brutality...

Rating: 7/10 (3 March 2016)

OK, well, this was like watching a National Geographic documentary with breathtakingly beautiful nature shots interrupted by scenes of the most extreme and crude brutality I think I have ever seen. Undoubtedly hyoerealistic, at the limit of believeabioity (I know, it is based on a real story, but this does not make its cinematographic representation realistic...); the story is weak, the dialogues almost absent apart the conitnued grunting of LdC - Tom Hardy, in his fake Texan accent, is virtually ununderstandable. LdC won the Academy Award (long overdue...) but it seems to me more an Oscar to his career (he performed equal if not better in another half dozen movies). Overall not a bad movie, just oberrated.
