Set in the 1820's American frontier, this snowy thriller follows fur trapper Hugh Glass as he relentlessly seeks retribution against the companions who left him for dead in the Missouri River's icy waters after he was mauled by a bear. I was surprised that this movie was not just gore and guts but actually a good story. Not everyone was evil, especially the captain of the expedition that made the two companions promise to care for Hugh after the bear mauling. One of those companions killed his son and did his best to kill Hugh. The other companion was unaware of all these evil deeds. All in all, not for the faint of heart. I still am trying to figure out why all of them didn't die of hypothermia in those icy waters. I give it a 7. Leonardo's grunting got old. Stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy.
