The sight of a baby being shot is something which sets the tone, the feel, and the body language of this brutal and self-regarding Western from writer-director Scott Cooper, based on an unproduced screenplay by the late Donald Stewart, who scripted the The Hunt For Red October. The violence of the white pioneer and the Native American in the old West are set up against each other, and tacitly declared to be of tragic equivalence, though eligible to be redeemed by gestures of good faith and unexpected romantic developments. The beauty of the landscape and the violence of its human inhabitants are evidently supposed, in their respective extremities, to add up to something. But what? Pike plays Rosalie, a pioneer woman whose homestead in New Mexico is attacked by Comanches and entire family is slaughtered, including her baby in that unthinkably grotesque manner. Beset with grief and horror, Rosalie is to come across army officer Blocker, played by Christian Bale, an habitually ruthless oppressor of the Native American peoples, though certainly someone possessed of military discipline. For political reasons, Blocker has been ordered to release dying Cheyenne chief Yellow Hawk Wes Studi and accompany him to his homeland of the Valley Of The Bears in Montana so that he can be properly buried in the land of his ancestors. They embark on an extraordinarily long and gruelling journey, which is to involve an encounter with a criminal played by Ben Foster. It sometimes looks as if Cooper thinks that his film can acknowledge and cancel the historical issues of white oppression simply by turning the violence levels up to boiling point, so that the shock of its cruelty, and the virulence of toxic masculinity, combined with the emollient beauty of the surrounding natural world and a growing emotional tenderness between Rosalie and Blocker, will somehow dissolve the great historical wrongs within a romantic narrative of learning and personal discovery. A flawed, but interesting drama.

In the first, a white family living deep in New Mexico Territory are attacked by a Comanche war party, with only the mother, Rosalie Rosamund Pike , surviving. In the second, the hard-faced Captain Joseph Blocker Christian Bale rounds up an Apache family and drags them to an American fort, where other Native Americans have been imprisoned for years without trial. Both sequences are gory, tough to watch, and short on dialogue, with Cooper intent on showing a world severely lacking in empathy. And since this is a movie directed by Scott Cooper Black Mass, Crazy Heart, Out of the Furnace , the best way for everyone to learn those lessons is through scenes of gritty violence.

Tell stories that are set in the American West, but come at things from a different point of view. Christian Bale is at his best. Nobody is bad here. As the story shows, some handle it better than others. It's very slow at times, and there are entire scenes that feel like they don't need to be in the film. Minnie McCowan Ryan Bingham
