Reved up with this one!

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2015)

Acclaimed & Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu went from a Birdman seeking redemption to a Frontiersman seeking revenge. His latest stellar work comes in the form of "The Revenant". It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as the aforementioned 1800's frontiersman named Hugh Glass who seeks vengeance against his fellow frontiermen who left him for dead after a bear attack. I guess they could not bear seeing Glass in such pain or maybe not. Glass is made out of thick glass with his focused resiliency to get those who did him wrong. Let's just say that he has viable justification to be an angry man. Oh, and as far as his marital status: he once had a love and it was no gas, soon turned out it was the heart of Hugh Glass; sorry for that "Blondie" moment there. Anyways, Inarritu marveled with his courageous direction of "The Revenant". His script of the picture, which he co-wrote with Mark Smith, was a revelation on revenge; but this movie shines more with the physical than the verbose and that is its brilliant makeup. Two-time cinematography Oscar champ Emmanuel "Chivo" Lubezki presented what is probably one of the most breathtaking photography I have seen in a motion picture with his work in "The Revenant"; y no estoy chivando! Now to Mr. DiCaprio! It is one of my favorite Leo performances and it is his most impressive physical thespian effort of his illustrious career with his Glassified offering. Tom Hardy was exceptional as Fitzgerald the Frontiersman. Other fine supporting performances derived from Will Poulter as Bridges the Frontiersman, and Domhnall Gleeson as Captain Henry. In the end, "The Revenant" is something to see. ***** Excellent
