'Heart of the Beast' review: I wanted to love Brad Pitt's new survival thriller. Then it got really cheesy

Brad Pitt stars in the survival thriller Heart of the Beast, where he portrays a military veteran stranded in the wilderness with his dog. Although the film attempts to create an emotional journey, reviews indicate the story becomes cheesy and fails to resonate emotionally. The production is described as a man-bites-fans hit, suggesting that the movie-star presence of Pitt does not save the narrative from its flaws as the plot barely tugs at the heartstrings.
