Leo is excellent (once again)!

PLOT
Inspired by true events, the film captures one man's epic adventure of survival and the extraordinary power of the human spirit. In an expedition of the uncharted American wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). Guided by sheer will and the love of his family, Glass must navigate a vicious winter in a relentless pursuit to live and find redemption.

REVIEW
I just have to start with Leo who is for me one of the best actors alive (no Oscar award will change that). Another crazy good performance and astonishing testament to his commitment to a role! Amazing! When it comes to the movie. It a simple story but dramatic with outstanding acting, scenery and overall pace. It's a great tale of survival and instinct, the film is brutal and real and sometimes hard to watch yet beautiful at the same time. A must see! 5-/5
