Chilling suspense

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2016)

This movie was not what I had expected it to be, but in a good way.
The story to the movie had a great flow to it. It was suspenseful throughout the plot, but especially after Hugh Glass (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) was attacked by a grizzly bear. That scene was absolutely mind-blowing. Glass was left for dead numerous times, but despite his shriveling odds he was able to overcome death and survive.
John Fitzgerald, played by Tom Hardy, could not have been controlled any more by greed and betrayal. He should have never turned his back on Glass as he did. Because of that, Fitzgerald had trapped himself without realizing it.
This is truly one of DiCaprio's best performances. Hardy also had an exceptional performance.
