Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

rleec-94301 This film contains some of the most beautiful cinematography you will ever see. It is a deep exploration into the nature of a human's will to survive, as well as the need for vengeance. Leonardo Dicaprio rightly won the oscar for best actor. The set, as well as the props & costumes are exemplary, & completely believable; in particular the portrayal of Fort Kiowa. Must Watch

mahbodmoi That film got amazing sound track! And alone scene

cowgirlcath I'm thinking this is one of the best films I've seen in years. Acting, production, scenery (of course), and camera work were all top notch. I know people wanted better character development and not such long stretches of quiet but the way it was filmed brings you back to that date and time, makes you know what it must have really been like trying to make a living hunting and trapping amongst tribes of Indians whom we were impinging on their way of life and ruining what was always their land, their animals and especially their ways. The bear attack was phenomenal and so real I nearly screamed out loud and I've never done that at any movie, ever. The attempts to save each other, when to run, when to not attempt to save others, all these things caused you to put yourself in their shoes and that's what I love in a story. Not how it's contrived or how it stands up to other contrived stories. It was a story that needed to be told, was extremely well acted, the scenery was worth the whole thing then you get so much more. Emotionally moving and stunningly delivered.

George Taylor While this film does contain some beautiful performances and cinematography, that's about it. The spirit of human nature has been done before. While the DiCaprio character's survival is amazing - the film bogs down a bit as he crawls and finally walks out of his predicament. Decent, but not a film that I'd need to see again.
