Just
a side note before I get into this review - this movie is rated R-16 where I'm
from (which means you can't watch it if you aren't 16 or older),
and the security guard at the auditorium asked how old I was. It made me feel
young again, which was nice. Now, to the review!
So,
The Revenant is a Western(ish) survival film directed by Alejandro
Gonzales Iñarríttu and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, and Domhnall Gleeson
and is one of the most intense cinematic experiences I can say I've ever had. I
mean, when you watch someone get mauled by a 700-plus pound Grizzly bear, you'd
want that person to live.
Underneath that fluffy and cuddly exterior is a monster waiting to kill you.
