Or over the edge I guess ... pun aside, this is not an easy movie to watch. And not because it doesn't really take sides on certain matters (good or bad), but gives you a story and a character that you can root for ... or find quite disturbing. But not because of morality per se ... but because of the passion and the thick head he has.
That being said, the acting is really good and the cinematography is superb. That may not be enough to sway you though ... especially because of the pacing of the movie and the mentioned missing moral compass of invaders and native people. There are grey areas - so not a black and white matter. Which makes things complicated ... the reasons for our main character to stay may not be complicated, but also still not enough for you to like this overall.
An intriguing story and really well told ... not excellent but more than decent for sure.
