The horror, the horror (SPOILERS)


As this movie progressed, I went back and forth over who was the biggest, most vile scumbag, Leo or DeNiro. Of course, the prize went to Deniro as the architect of the scheme to kill off the moneyed Osages "by any means necessary," whether by guns or exploding houses or slow poison. Leo is a close second in the scumbaggery. He kills his share and even tries to do away with his own wife, Mollie, by injecting her with poisoned shots of insulin for her diabetes, of course provided by the King, Deniro.

The horror, as Marlon Brando uttered at the end of Apocolyse Now, might have been an apt title for this film.

I can't take Leo's character so serios evil, as he is an idiot. He wants to make money and thinks this is the way to go. DeNiro scams through the whole county and lies in front of the tribe to be their friend. He would be never good, Leo's character easily could also live a normal life (or the life of a small criminal), if he had not instructions of his uncle.

I really liked this movie, the cast, script and direction were fantastic.

Unfortunately American law enforcement was not great a hundred years ago and greedy bastards could get away with no end of nonsense back then.
