Movie review: Does 'The Revenant' live up to the hype?

'The Revenant' starring Leonardo DiCaprio boasts characters so tough they make Bear Grylls look like a soft-heeled stamp collector, writes Sue de Groot If you have never taken the time to think about what you would do in the event of a grizzly bear attack, The Revenant will change your priorities. The centrepiece of this extraordinary film involves Leonardo DiCaprio being thoroughly savaged by a bear the size of a Volkswagen Golf.
