This is indeed a true gem of a picture.
It's both very precise, honest and authentic.
A perfect cast, truly - where Christian Bale and Rosamund Pike does an outstanding performance of seldom quality.
This is not the average action western, it's is (luckily) in a slow pace and with focus on character build and exploration, near perfection.
But there certainly scenes of violence and there are very intense moments and I was utterly consumed by the story and the narrative of the movie, in a good way, but it was also an emotional ride, so to speak...
I can hardly recommend this movie enough, I have seen it 3 times and it's still equally good.
Also I love the fact that Whites are not shown as absolute devils, as it is a common practice nowadays, at least the Indians are also show to be as vicious and evil as they were.
What a movie!
