Leonardo DiCaprio at his best

Rating: 8/10 (15 February 2017)

I can see why The Revenant got nominated for the Oscars. It's beautifully shot with top class actors. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy both stand out in this adventure movie. It's for sure one of Leonardo DiCaprio's best acting performances. Even though for a movie that long there is not excessive much talking you never get bored. Au contrary there are a lot of silent passages that add to the feeling of loneliness in those winter scenery's. There's a lot of grunting from the diverse almost deadly wounds. It all works perfectly well to tell this story of revenge and vengeance. There are some graphic scenes that could make your stomach turn, but that also makes this movie stand out from the rest. You can almost feel the frostbite just by watching it. Tom Hardy plays a stone-cold heartless son of a bitch and those roles fits him the best. A long movie that never seemed long when you're watching it.
