Leonardo DiCaprio is excellent as an explorer and fur trapper of the American wilderness (in the early 19th century) — “inspired” by a true story — who battles a bear, natives, the death of his own son, and serious physical injuries (that damn bear!) to take revenge. The imagery is quite stunning. Perhaps a bit long at over 2.5 hours, but it kept my attention throughout. The other actors are quite good too, especially Tom Hardy.
