Mindblowing!

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2016)

I am left speechless by this movie. You've seen the trailers, you know how amazing it looked. Yeah, it was even better. This was easily one ofthe most visually stunning films I've ever seen. It was just mindblowing! The bear attack scene was in one long take! How amazing is that? Leonardo DiCaprio is fantastic, giving a grueling physical performance. This whole movie is grueling, it's intense. This is easily one of the most brutal films I've ever seen. I never thought a movie from 2015 could get more intense than Sicario, and I was wrong. This may be the most intense movies I've seen in a long time. I can't talk about this film without mentioning Tom Hardy, who even steals the movie from Leo, with a fantastic turn as the villain. I couldn't understand half of what he was saying, but he was great! But this movie doesn't come without flaws. The plot is very simple, which I don't mind, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table. Hugh Glass is also a one note character. However, the character is saved by the dedication of DiCaprio, who just brings his all to the performance. This movie isn't for everyone, but I feel like it's something everyone should see at least once.
Alejandro González Iñárritu has made 2 films in a row that have completely blown me away. I seriously can't wait to see what he'll do next. I can see him becoming one of the greatest directors of our time.
9.5/10
