Hostiles
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I loved the production and acting; Christian Bale pulled off the part perfectly…and they left most if not all of their peculiar political views out of most of it while capturing many real sentiments of the time. Wes Studi made the whole storyline real and with feeling. Years ago a dear friend of mine, Chief Eddie Little Sky, deceased, of the Lakota Nation, set out to become a ‘real’ Indian actor in a business that in the 50’s was just as glad to use Pacific Islanders instead for the parts in such films as this. Wes Studi has accomplished what my old friend could not; recognition and an actual livelihood from the Motion Picture Industry!- Keith Gilbert
Christian Bale plays an Army Captain assigned to escort a Cheyenne Chief and his family back home. Bale is outstanding. Rosamund Pike will break your heart. The whole cast is really spectacular. Hostiles has great writing and acting with a whole bunch of grey area because you are seeing all sides of the violence. Just a warning: It is called Hostiles and the film lives up to the title. Brutal. Hostile.- Frank Castle
The quality of this movie was a surprise to me, as is the fact that it did not receive much attention when it was in theaters. First, the acting is top notch from everyone, especially from leads Bale and Studi, but there a numerous supporting case members who put in great performances. Second, production values are top notch, the cinematography is stunning at times, esp. in Montana at the end. Lastly, the plot, while a bit predictable, is engaging and thoroughly enjoyable. I really have nothing bad to say about this movie. I would describe this movie being heavily influenced by violent Coen movie like No Country For Old Men/True Grit, with bits of reflective Terrence Malick mixed in. A must see for any fan of Westerns, it is easily one of the best since Unforgiven.-Future Cult Classic Western
