À propos de ce film

1892, New Mexico - legendary Army captain Joseph J. Blocker (Christian Bale) undertakes one final mission before retirement: escort Yellow Hawk (Wes Studi) - a dying Cheyenne war chief - and his family back to sacred tribal lands. After 20 years of violent struggle, this gesture of peace is as unthinkable as it is harrowing. Together they battle against a punishing landscape and the brutality of men alike, coming to the rescue of a young widow (Rosamund Pike) amidst the carnage of her murdered family. Two great warriors, once rivals across the battlefield, must learn to trust each other and find peace in an unforgiving land. A heroic odyssey of survival, HOSTILES becomes a story not about the miles travelled nor the battles fought, but the journey towards respect, reconciliation and forgiveness. 2017 YLK Distribution LLC.

Notes et avis

I really enjoyed this movie, beautifully filmed with breathtaking scenery. Good solid cast and a powerful storyline. I read a few reviews that said it was a typical western, however I do not feel it could be classified as a western, this is a sad portrayal of how the Native American Indians were treated in their own country and how enemies can put aside difference's to become friends. A brilliant and thought provoking movie.

Very nice film! Excellent story. Features so many deep concepts. Really enjoyable to watch, and also thought provoking. Shows companionship, coping with hardship, war hardening, facing death, taking risk and the beautiful landscapes of America. Well worth watching!

Once again Bale gets it bang on. Such an underrated actor. Wes Studi was subtle and complimented Bale. The chemistry was superb. Script and direction spot on. Frighteningly disturbing to think Bale and Studi's characters were brutal in their prime only to seek salvation and redemption
