I really wonder why this movie is rated rather low on IMDb. a very good movie with a great, but disturbing message, perhaps even more because it was based on real events.
a movie that i haven t watched until recently because i wanted to see how val kilmer performs in different kinds of roles, and here he does it good, real good.
It tells the story of an Indian reservation in South Dakota in the seventies. There seems to be some kind of war going on between traditionalist and progressive Indians. The traditionalists are accused of a murder on an important member of the progressive group and two FBI agents will investigate it.
maybe it just wasn't marketed well that the movie is really unknown.Val Kilmer has never been better with his portrayal of a cop who s half indian by roots.
micheal apted does work with the scenes here to create that indian culture vibe along with the excellent score by James Horner, a genius at work.
definitely a must watch cop thriller from the 90s
