Renner for the Oscar

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2018)

Absolutely loved the film. Jeremy Renner is a stud. His performance as "the hunter" is his best to date. The character was focused and precise. That being said I have not seen many of his movies. "The Town" was probably the best movie he has been in till "Wind River".
This movie was emotional, intense, and full of surprises. I jumped so high off the couch during the climax. Elizabeth Olsen was delightful as well. Her endurance as the FBI agent was portrayed with prominent detail. At some moments you felt as if you were going through them with her. Her passion for justice drove her to persevere through the cold, unfamiliar environment.
What makes the film so hauntingly beautiful is that it is based off real events. It educates the audiences about the treacherous mountain ranges and the plight of drugs and crime in the Wyoming native people.
The ending was so satisfyingly complete. I love a film with great closure.
"Wolves don't kill unlucky deer, they kill the weak ones."
The quote truly sat with me. If you are willing to fight and claw and do whatever it takes to survive and succeed, you can create your own luck.
