A truly powerful, real movie, with sprawling action sets filmed with hundreds of extras, in long beautiful takes by a stable camera - no shaky epileptic cam or 1000 cuts per minute here. And it all cost less, than CGI heavy 'cartoons', but looks way better.
Great character actors playing the 'evil confederates', like Ben Foster and Steven Ogg. Some bloody, brutal scenes here.
It's good 'the oscars' have become a joke, and are not worthy to nominate this movie...
