In 2014 (as well as 2015), director Alejandro G. Inarritu made a name for himself in the movie world. The director's film, Birdman, became a hit with moviegoers; not to mention the industry itself when the film won the academy award for best picture. So you can imagine that many would be eager to see what was in store next for Inarritu. It turns out that fans would not have to wait long as now playing in theaters is the biographical western drama:
The Revenant. The movie is based on the Michael Punke's book, The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge. which captures the adventures of frontiersman Hugh Glass. The film made its debut on December 16, 2015 which gained a bigger, yet limited, release on Christmas day. Now the film can be seen everywhere; so is can this film keep Inarritu's momentum or is this drama not live up to expectations?
Dealing on one of the novel's tales,
The Revenant captures Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) on the Louisiana Purchase. Things go astray when Glass is attacked by a bear and is on the brink of death. After being carried by his fellow hunting party, Glass is left for dead by John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy); who kills Glass' son in the process. Recovering from the incident, Glass makes his way through the harsh environment in order to get his revenge on Fitzgerald.
