This may well be Leonardo Dicaprio's first shot at an Oscar. But not for the faint hearted.

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2016)

This movie is brutal, violent, and unsettling. That's what makes it so great. That said it certainly isn't for everyone. Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is an American frontiersman traveling with his convoy alongside his Native American son Hawk Glass (Forrest Goodluck). When Hugh is brutally mauled by a bear and barely able to stand, Captain Andrew Henry (Domhnall Gleason) assigns Hawk, John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), and Jim Bridger (Will Poulter) to look after him. But after Fitzgerald tries to kill Hugh, Hawk is killed by Fitzgerald, and Hugh is partially buried alive. The rest of the movie is mostly Hugh trying to get back home. As I've previously stated it's very brutal and in some parts, hard to watch. It's certainly not a movie for the faint hearted, because trust me it gets intense. But if you can watch through that, you'll be able to enjoy this for the suspense thriller it is. It's still in theaters so if you can withstand the violence, go check it out.
