The Revenant
Rated: R | Common Senses Media says: Parents need to know that The Revenant is a revenge Western full of brutal, punishing violence. The main character (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) overcomes crippling wounds, hunger, cold, and pain to find the man who killed his son; he's often shown in great agony. Characters are also shot with arrows and guns, mauled by bears, and fall over cliffs. Blood, gore, and wounds are shown, as are dead bodies (both human and animal). A woman is raped. Language is also very strong, with uses of "f--k," "s--t," and more. There's a brief moment of full-frontal male nudity and some whisky drinking is shown.
Grade: D+ | I found this film to be a torturous,
self indulgent, masturbatory, vehicle to showcase the increasingly
tiresome over-acting of the grandiosely overrated Leonardo DiCaprio. I
know, a lot of people are enamored by this "actor" but I couldn't wait
for the excruciating experience to end.
