Feinde – Hostiles (2017)
24KFeinde – Hostiles: Directed by Scott Cooper. With Scott Shepherd, Rosamund Pike, Ava Cooper, Stella Cooper. In 1892, a legendary Army Captain reluctantly agrees to escort a Cheyenne chief and his family through dangerous territory.
“Forget the talk of the film being slow, this isnu0026#39;t an action film or an old school shoot u0026#39;em up western, anyone looking for that should search elsewhere. Whilst there some great action scenes, where hostiles excels is in setting the tone for an early American world where law and order rest of gun power.nThe cinematography is exceptional, meanwhile Christian Bale is superb playing a army captain who is seemingly tough and unflinching but shows an undertone of melancholy, Rosamunde Pike pulls of a great performance as a woman thrust into the ugly world of war and anarchy by a brutal attack on her family home, a scene is exceptional and unapologetically shocking.nOverall the film is about the futility of trying to civilise a wild land built on violence, and about the tragedy and the sheer pointlessness of conflict against fellow man.”
