Cag: 5.5 One helluva movie
Directed by Scott Cooper
Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures
Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike
My comments: I'm pretty sure this is one of those movies that you don't forget. A tragic story, but one that mesmerized me. Super performances, Christian Bale just can't be beat. He lives and breathes his part. Indigenous people versus those who took them over. This movie is about relationships between people, friendships past and present, the ties that bind and those that are fleeting or even meaningless. I think this was a brilliant movie, a huge piece of US history, and a story that will stay with me for a long, long time.
RT/ IMDb Summary: Set in 1892, Hostiles tells the story of a legendary Army Captain (Christian Bale), who after stern resistance, reluctantly agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief (Wes Studi) and his family back to tribal lands. Making the harrowing and perilous journey from Fort Berringer, an isolated Army outpost in New Mexico, to the grasslands of Montana, the former rivals encounter a young widow (Rosamund Pike), whose family was murdered on the plains. Together, they must join forces to overcome the punishing landscape, hostile Comanche and vicious outliers that they encounter along the way.
