DICAPRIO IS OUTSTANDING, HARDY IS OUTSTANDING & THE FILM IS BRILLIANT

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2020)

Leo DiCaprio is excellent & Tom Hardy is excellent & both give outstanding performances in this gruelling survival drama.
The cinematography is gorgeous & the action is savage & bloody, the bear attack scene was the most realistic bear attack your ever likely to see in a movie ever!!!
Leo plays a scout tracker type of woodsman "Hugh Glass" who witnessed his son murdered by the psychotic "Fitzgerald" played by the always excellent Tom Hardy & here you will hate him, it's a mix of primal raw survival tale & a mission of vengeance through the unforgiving winter terrain of mountains & wild rivers & snow storms & Savage Indians as well as savage frontiersmen & hunters & wild bears as our survivor just keeps going with every breath getting closer.
It's an extremely wild ride & shows how brutal those times were for any race of people, I'm surprised anyone could survive during those dark times but they did.
"The Revenant" is a journey & adventure during those extreme western frontier times, so it's a period piece drama also but mainly IT'S a film of a man who has lost everything & has nothing to lose so with a heart full of rage he seeks revenge for his murdered son. A bleak story but an important one with a realism that's brutally captured on film.
A fantastic survival film
