The plot: Real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal as Mollie Burkhart, a member of the Osage Nation, tries to save her community from a spree of murders fueled by oil and greed.
This Movie was really good but not great.
Pros: The acting from Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro individually were amazing. I like how the film portrayed the Indians respectfully. Everything involved with the film looked marvellous and It ended in a unexpected way.
Cons: The movie did drag along throughout the run time and also it was too long for me & the film was a bit racist.
