Heart of the Beast
Man versus wilderness survival thriller with real teeth
David Ayer drops Special Forces officer James Belmont and his combat dog Odin into the Alaskan wild after a plane crash, and it is a lean, brutal fight against the elements. Brad Pitt anchors a tight 101 minutes of momentum with J.K. Simmons in support, and it sits at 7.5 on IMDb. The scale of the wilderness is built for a big screen.
- Nonstop survival stakes, no filler
- Brad Pitt leads a David Ayer action piece
- Tight 101 minutes of forward drive
