A heartbreaking story

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2017)

Wow, just wow. This movie was heartbreaking.
In the first minutes of the movie we see a young woman running and trying to escape in the snow. She is clearly scared and is running away from something or someone chasing her. Just after that we see a Wild Life ranger who is portrayed by Jeremy Renner while he is hunting and killing a wolf. Later he picks up his son from his ex wife's house and travels to an Native American Reservation because he has to find a lion who killed cattle on the land of his ex father in law. While looking for the lion he finds the body of the young woman from the beginning of the movie, and upon recognizing her, calls authorities with a heavy heart. After that the plot starts to thicken when a young and inexperienced FBI agent (portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen) arrives to lead the investigation I love movies which are "inspired by actual events". In the beginning I thought it was a little slow, and I couldn't focus on the plot, but when the story started to unravel I was amazed.
For a long time I haven't sympathized with a character of any movie, but God, I felt so sorry for Natalie and her fate, and I was so proud of her, 6 miles running in the snow, with no shoes..Oh God I could cry right now. Such a strong character and beautifully written.
The details around Natalies death and molestation that happened before it are gruesome. And the culprits deserved everything they got in the end. An eye for an eye.
