Description

Val Kilmer, Sam Shepard and Graham Greene star in this powerful murder mystery with all the style and suspense of Witness. Kilmer stars as Ray Levoi, a hotshot FBI agent who's thrust into a strange new world when he is sent to solve a murder on an Indian reservation. Hand-picked because of his part-Sioux ancestry, Levoi is teamed with a legendary older agent (Shepard) to capture a radical Indian protester. But once on the reservation, Levoi encounters the irreverent local sheriff (Greene), and the tribe's religious leader (Chief Ted Thin Elk), who knows secrets about Levoi's own lost heritage. And as Levoi's awareness of the native culture grows, so does his belief that the U.S. government has framed an innocent man. A crackerjack mystery and a personal triumph of the heart.

    A lot of food for thought in this flick. It takes you further and deeper than headlines and sound bites. Graham Greene is underated as an actor, and this was the film in which Val Kilmer starting giving us clues that he was more than just a prettyboy. At this point, I'd be happy if I could just find the soundtrack. The haunting theme at the close completes the circle. Overall, well done.

    The plot is fantastic, with plenty of plot twist's and good acting from everyone in the cast. Despite what the movie poster show's, this movie Is quite complex and just as good as the wonderful "Shawshank Redemption". , this a great movie and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a movie you can watch more than once.
  • A great movie.

    I highly recommend this movie, it has a great message and flow to it. I especially liked John Trudell's character and the role he played. He deserves alot more roles. He's a great poet and speaker. There are other great performances from Greene and Kilmer. If you like movies with spirit and positive content, then this ones for you.
