Watch Dead Man (1995) instead.

Rating: 7/10 (26 January 2016)

All in all this isn't a bad movie however considering All those hype around this movie, it was very disappointing. I'll start with good parts: Acting department did its job very well. Both, leo and tom hardy performed outstandingly well. I've read some reviews in which criticizing the movie for too much violence and too much blood scenes. In my opinion this scenes are acceptable since the deeper layer of the movie is about human nature and harsh nature itself. Now the bad parts of the movie starts with the main story or the one that is on the surface and is very obvious: a cliché story of a revenge, battle between the absolute bad and absolute good. a man who left to die rises from tomb and gets his revenge. The thing that surprises me is the fact that even the deeper layers of the movie which is about human nature, nature itself and cruelty against first nations is also very cliché and doesn't have anything new to present. The movie is too long and slow. I guess more than 80% of the movie is an empty shot of nature or Leonardo starring at some unknown spot. Now in Dead Man we see that Jim Jarjmosch ( I chose this movie on purpose because it has a lot in common with this movie) focuses on a solid story with accents of irony. However in this movie Alejandro G. Iñárritu choses poetry in motion pictures with accents of a story. I love poetry on motion picture In the mood for love, apocalypse now, or many of Akira kursawa's movies can fit in this category but if you fill 80% of your poem with the same words it will make your audience get bored or fall asleep. At the end of the day, I'm not there to listen to the poem, I'm there to see what does your poem means.
