Pretty dark watch but great movie

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2020)

Had seen this advertised on Netflix for ages but always passed on. Then watched it recently and wow what a movie. It is grim, violent, brutally depressing at times but if I can sum it up in one word it would be honest. It just felt like a stand up honest movie. A frighteningly realistic plot with some amazing performances. Renner in particular, this really is his best performance to date. What I also kept seeing throughout the movie was the image of Renner's cowboy interacting with the native americans and having true love and friendship. Showing that people from all different backgrounds can be friends, share emotions and grief and help each other. It's one of those movies that will stick with you for a while, it has done for me. Make sure you are in the right frame of mind to watch it. Be warned, when I watched this I thought it was going to be a Murder mystery, crime, hunting a serial killer type movie. It's so not.
