It's all about survival for revenge

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2016)

Leonardo Dicaprio keep appearing in powerful movies with his impacting acting but keep denied to take home the academy award. This time I guess he will make it.
About the movie, it's a movie based on real life explorer Hugh Glass, about how he survived in his expedition while attacked and wounded by a grizzly and abandoned by his mates.
In the my opinion the movie is stretched about half an hour too much but still it wasn't a boring survival movie we witness normally. Director Alejandro González Iñárritu kept it pacey and eventful. The only cheers come from the audience is actually the last 15 minutes of the movie.
Dicaprio as usual at his best, he is just perfect for the movies set up in 18th and early 19th century.
Tom Hardy makes delicious villain here,to be honest I was never fan of Hardy even when he appeared in 'Dark Knight Rises', but in this one he really sparked. A true old fashioned villain who justifies his wrong doing, from stealing to killing.
And you can see Will Poulter in a completely different avatar if you still remember him from 'We're The Millers'
It was a real treat to watch if you like the movies from the American civil war era. If you are up for that, I would say you don't miss it.
