About this movie

From Taylor Sheridan the writer of Hell or High Water and Sicario comes a gripping crime thriller set in the unforgiving snow plains of Wyoming. Elizabeth Olsen (Avengers Age of Ultron) stars as a rookie FBI agent tasked with solving the brutal murder of a young woman in a Native American reserve. Enlisting the help of a local hunter (Jeremy Renner, Captain America Civil War) to help her navigate the freezing wilderness, the two set about trying to find a vicious killer hidden in plain sight. The closer they get to the truth the greater the danger becomes with a town full of explosive secrets ready to fight back.

Get ready for a gripping film. Great from start to finish and I watched it again straight after! There was something comforting about the wide open spaces, the vast miles of 'nothingness' we rarely get to see in our mundane lives. Intense. A new favorite film for me. Wow, there were some twists and turns coming I didnt even see and Im known for getting these things from the get go! Enjoy! Make sure you have everything you need, cos you want to press pause

Firstly this is a great film, one that draws you in from the beginning through to the shocking conclusion. I would warn that there are fairly graphic scenes of rape, something personally I dislike seeing in films but it certainly adds to the emotional ride at the end. Both lead characters are well played, the setting is stunning, the story intertwines the remote nature and hardship of life in remote areas, the indigenous people and their hardships with a clever and emotional crime, investigated by an inexperienced and overwhelmed FBI agent, the dry witted local sheriff and Bremmers character, a local hunter who has an emotional link to the whole crime that plays well tot he story. To be honest not my normal choice of film, but hooked me in the first 5 minutes right to the end. Highly recommended film.

I really liked this, but it's hard to see these guys in a film together without the rest of the marvel gang. He plays the same type of character as Hawkeye, but it does suit him. I definitely loved the end of this - the bad guy/s get a taste of their own medicine.
