To anyone that says this needs to be more entertaining, I must say this: this film is based on real events. I HATE it when people bash a bio-pic or historical film as "not entertaining enough". These tales really happened, and the best ones stay truest to the actual events. If you want entertainment, go watch one of Michael Bay's CGI-fueled action-feats that he vomits out on a bi-annual (if not annual) basis. Depp is positively spine-tingling playing this man; his acting here is top notch (in my opinion, far better than Leo in the Revenant).

I could have used more context around some characters, but this film was intense. Enjoy.
