An excellent film and well worth persevering with. I saw it a couple of years back and recommended it to my friend last night, warning him to put his subtitles on as he would need them, particularly when Tom Hardy was speaking. Great actor but he sometimes does get too much into character, imho. As Gizmo says, the bear scene isn't for the faint-hearted but i rewound the film several times to watch it over. It is THAT good. Didn't watch last night but recorded it for when there's nowt on.
