One of the primary reasons for my rating here is my adoration of the cast. The story itself isn't unique, though some elements are. Michael Shannon delivers a stirring performance that actually makes you empathetic to his sordid actions. Nicholas Hoult delivers a dark performance that seems nearly relatable at times. Slight Mad Max (Mel Gibson version) vibe to the whole thing.

Remake
For a remake of one of my favorite movies it wasn't too bad. Hardy does a pretty good job in his adaptation of being Max. The story and stunts in the movie are good. The premise sticks with the original version of the Mel Gibson era movies. Not much I would change just needed better all around cast and acting to give it a better grade.

Edge of Payback
Get The Gringo- it reminds of Payback and Edge of Darkness. A revenge film with action, drama, comedy and suspense. Unlike Payback and Edge of Darkness which were decent films. I actually like Get The Gringo.
The plot: A youngster helps an American career criminal (Mel Gibson) learn to survive behind the walls of a brutal Mexican prison.
A good action packed prison survival film.

Colors Of The Wind
Pocahontas- is a strange movie, cause it came out after "The Lion King". And the movie's after "The Lion King" were stange. What im saying is after "The Lion King", disney decided to go really strange/a huge left turn/didn't expect that/disappointed and overall a huge downfall. But i will get to those movies. Oh this is one of them.
Anyways the plot:
This is the Disney animated tale of the romance between a young American Indian woman named Pocahontas (Irene Bedard) and Capt. John Smith (Mel Gibson), who journeyed to the New World with other settlers to begin fresh lives. Her powerful father, Chief Powhatan, disapproves of their relationship and wants her to marry a native warrior. Meanwhile, Smith's fellow Englishmen hope to rob the Native Americans of their gold. Can Pocahontas' love for Smith save the day.
The songs I dont remember, the plot was so-so, the charcters were intresting and thats pretty much it.

The Theory of Conspiracies
Conspiracy Theory- is a good movie, a little long and dated but its still a good movie. Both Mel Gibson and Juila Roberts do a good job and Partick Stewart as the villian, was cool to see. Cause he doesn't play alot of villian roles, so it was nice to see him play as the villian.
The plot: New York City cabbie Jerry Fletcher (Mel Gibson) is an expert on paranoid conspiracy theories. He is also infatuated with government lawyer Alice Sutton (Julia Roberts), who permits his attention because he once rescued her from a mugging. However, when Jerry is captured and put through psychotic tests by Dr. Jonas (Patrick Stewart), he realizes there is an actual conspiracy. After escaping, Jerry enlists Alice's help, but she wonders whether he has uncovered a real threat or is just insane.
Its has good drama, suspense, thrills and some action, but its still a good movie.

Strong retelling of the heroic Private Doss as I was completely unaware of his actions although I was aware of the army and their treatment of objectors.
Mel Gibson has captured the essence of the futility of war and how the heroics of one man saved many against overwhelming odds.
Effects are very realistic and the sound design has made this a home cinema favourite amongst enthusiasts.
Do not miss this film!
