It must be really awful to beat Revenant and Meeks cut-off.
I was tempted to have a look but seems it is that bad that it isn't available for download anywhere.

Have you seen Tommy Lee Jones in The Homesman? Utterly appalling! I always thought TLJ would lift any film he was in..... Evidently not.
There's another recent release, Slow West, again 90 minutes of my life I won't get back.

Aye Slow West was dire but the Holywood sycophants raved about it.
Usual post modern pishing up each others backs.

I enjoyed Bridge of Spies even though you know the ending, well that is if you are old enough to remember Gary Powers.

I am a bit of a fan of Mark Rylance, thought Wolf Hall was some of the best drama I had seen for years.

The thing is, the story of Hugh Glass is actually quite something!

It surely is, Unfortunately Glass and two others met an untimely end whilst trapping along the Yellowstone River. They were captured, killed and then scalped by Arikara Indians.
Here's a link to some factual writing about the life of Hugh Glass.
