Hostilers: A drab journey

*ing: Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike Wes Studi Jesse Plemons Adam Beach Rory Cochrane Ben Foster

Rated: 5/10

The only thing impressive about this drab journey through the wild west is its starcast and their performance. But that’s about it and that too gets doused by the forlorn landscape and the nothing to do story around an american captain tasked to return a Red Indian chieftain back to his land and family.

This despite the fact that the chief has butchered White Americans, women, children and men by the dozens. Nothing much happens on either side of the countryside journey and that’s what kills the film despite its lofty mission to show up how perceptions of even the biggest hostiles change through life experiences with one another.

Not really a film to spend money on despite the presence of the impressive Christian Bale.
