God, all the action in this movie was shown in the trailer, the rest of it was dull hard-to-hear dialogue and camping scenes. I should've guessed as much during Oscar season. False advertising, movie!
Did you watch it in the theatre?
shareYes. The main problem I had was that Bale and a few of the other actors mostly mumbled, or didn't speak clearly that I could hear. I was trying to eat popcorn quietly, but that shouldn't be an issue.
Ironically, the subtitles were the only times I understood perfectly.
haha... yeah... the mumble acting can be overdone sometimes, but I tend to not let it bother me... i just assume that I'm not meant to hear every word 😁
I haven't seen Hostiles yet as it showed at my local theatre for only one week! I liked Out of the Furnace, which is by the same director and I thought Black Mass was passable...
I liked the first hour, even hour and a half maybe, but then it got really lugubrious and sort of petered out.

That's a good way of stating it, "unrelentingly morose"..because I was just saw it and was thinking it could just be retitled, "Everyone dies" lol
I liked it though..I liked the pacing, the atmosphere...the kind that I think Westerns were made for. It was like travelling along with these people...seemed like the journey was the destination for the viewer, you know? I
Yeah, it was like a Western "road movie," but with trails.
It had it's good points.
