Review of Savage

Savage (2018)
8/10
Bleak, gritty n heavily inspired by The Great Silence n other westerns but in a solid way.
27 November 2019
On an unforgiving, snow-swept conditions, with the snow particles blowing in an icy blast, in an extremely harsh blizzard, with long blowing gusts, a policeman must brave the extreme weather n a trio of thieves connected with his tragic past. Both sides must fight for survival, the thieves for the gold n our cop for the honour. The film is bleak n gritty. It has powerful vistas, outstanding visual effects n brutal action. The gun showdown amidst the rustling tall weeds n the background music is like an old western film. The blizzard storm with large gusts of wind and trees rustling r characters themselves. The cast did a nice job. I ain't aware of the lead characters but I found the chick attractive with the turtle neck tshirt.

Ther is one scene which is a bit inspired from The Revenant. One where Hardy's character shoots the front guy on a horse, while Caprio's character remains lying on the rear horse.

Some may complain that the director is heavily inspired by Quentin Tarantino's films, but they shud realise that Tarantino himself n this film too is inspired by The Great Silence n other classic n spaghetti westerns.
