Review of The Revenant (2015) by Jim H — 22 Jul 2016
After being attacked by a bear, Hugh Glass must survive the perils of the wilderness and avenge the murder of his son.
Brutal and raw, Leonardo DiCaprio's incredible performance deserves all its accolades, and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is at top form, crafting an adventure that I wish more blockbusters would imitate. There's real tension in the conflicts, and the action scenes aren't jump-cutted to incomprehensible death.
The second act is a little long, and I could've done without so many shots that jerk off to trees and sky.
Overall, one of the best films of the year, this is a great adventure story.
