Hostiles was a boring, long movie that I would recommend you don’t go see.  It is unrelentingly depressing.  The main idea of the movie sounds promising.  Christian Bale plays Captain Joseph Blocker,  a grizzled, long serving cavalryman about to retire.  He is given one last mission, to escort a Cheyenne Chief, played by Wes Studi, from New Mexico to Montana on the orders of President Harrison.  The problem is that Blocker hates Indians, who have killed many of his friends while he has been killing many of them.  Along the way, he meets a young widow (Rosamund Pike) who has survived a Comanche attack that saw her husband and three children killed in front of her.  These reluctant travelers eventually form a bond and come to see each other as individual people.  The film is well acted, realistic and atmospheric; but that is sometimes not enough.  There are horrible murders, a gang rape, suicide, unending heartache and a bitter-sweet ending. Yet somehow, the movie still manages to come across as dull, almost boring. You would be better off seeing just about any other movie or perhaps visiting the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C.
