    I'm not at all a fan of Iñárritu but I thought this was great. It's actually his first movie that didn't feel pretentious. I don't see it as aping Malick or Tarkovsky- inspired by them, sure, but it's distinct enough that I was never thinking about them while watching it (at any rate it's far better than Malick's recent output), and Leo's performance, while certainly not extraordinary, was perfectly convincing for me (it's true that Hardy's was the superior performance). Any complaints about the cinematography are insane to me; Lubezki is in top form and this movie is probably the best-looking one I've seen from the past five years. My one complaint is at the end when only two men go out after Fitzgerald. It's a pretty stupid idea and it's very obvious what's gonna happen next, although I guess it's necessary for the ending duel. But that's just a nitpick; even at two and a half hours I was thoroughly entertained the whole way through.
