Continuing my current theme of US wilderness films, now 55 minutes into Hostiles (it's a public holiday here today).
Very good so far, great landscapes, and an interesting story line.

1 hour 16.
A bit slow at times, but then things were slow back then. Brutal landscape.

Done now.
Yes, good.
It is a bit slow, but so would you be if you were trekking 1000 miles or so through wilderness.
Only complaint is that it is not really about hostiles. They only get attacked once. It is more about the hostile wilderness.
Still very good though.

Is that the Christian Bale one? I'll give it a go.

Flying Monkeys, Watched this last night. I thought it was quite good. You are right about the pacing, but it still held our interest (the wife and myself) thoroughly. I don't get what you mean about there being no hostiles and the landscape providing all the hostility (maybe it's a Brit humor thing.) The movie Blood Diamond has a similar sort of pacing, and even similar themes and tone, but this is much better.

(Is misquoting a US humo ur thing...?)
