Hostiles

Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart) wrote and directed this western gem. Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) is a pioneer woman. Angry, criminal Natives attack her family land and kill all her kids and her husband. Later, hunters come across her and some other women, they are kidnapped and raped. The hell she goes through is very real, horrifying, and make her an extremely complex character. Christian Bale (The Promise) is subtle, strong. and powerful in his role. He's about to muster out of the service. He fought in the civil war and then fought in the west. His last job is to take a Chief - he fought against most of his career - to his final resting place. You can see in their faces all the realizations the characters come to during this long and dangerous journey. Every bit of it looks and feel so authentic. All in all, I say: SEE IT
