I have never seen a movie more void of colors. Occasionally there is a pale blue sky; beyond that get ready for 2.5 hours of greys and browns; cold and misery.
The movie is ostensibly about trappers, but there is virtually no content along those lines. 10 seconds in we are already into ultra-violence, and that theme never stops. Leo is mauled, choked, stabbed, shot at and he even falls off a cliff. He barely speaks or ambulates throughout. Instead, we get long hallucinatory sequences full of magical Indians who inhabit the spirit realm (Hollywood loves their magical Indians!)
Toward the end, I really didn't care. There was only one thin story line, revenge, and we all knew how that was going to turn out.
***NOT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***
