Come On...

As a non-American Indian living and working in the Navajo Nation, I thought it would be interesting to see a film supposedly relevant to the people I was working with. Boy was I disappointed. The Navajo Nation Police as they are portrayed in this film make me cringe, not to mention the Navajo culture and people. This movie is sadly one large stereotype, and as most stereotypes is greatly off the mark. This film is a blemish on the career of a wonderful actress (Irene Bedard) {Irene- Why did you participate in this?}. If I recall correctly, this film was not even shot on the rez- it was shot in Utah or Nevada or something.

This movie sucked...

This movie had so many problems I don't know where to start. The plot relies heavily on coincidences, often preposterous ones; I don't want to spoil any of the plot, but the way two of the characters are thrown together in close quarters is just wholly unbelievable. The obligatory throw-guy-through-pane-of-glass moment looks pretty much obligatory and gratuitous, and the oh-so-significant soundtrack songs are intrusive at best and would've been better suited to an '80s teen romance. The script is poorly written enough to make Irene Bedard, normally a great actress, seem wooden. If you just want a good action movie, there are hundreds of better movies to choose from. And if you're looking for a good movie about Navajo people, try the independent documentary "Return of Navajo Boy" instead.

Barry Donaldson is WIN!

The best part of this movie is Mr. Donaldson's character Robert. Featuring such amazing lines as:

It's a witch, man.

It's a witch that killed those kids.

You can't catch no witch, man.

I told you it was a witch, man.

That's sick, man.

If Barry isn't enough for you there's still the brilliant soundtrack! What about the dynamite? And that magical exploding car? Almost too much awesome to pack into 90 minutes.

THIS IS AWFUL !!

After just watching a few minutes of this movie.. they did the usual non indians playing Navajo people. Portraying the Navajo Police as blue jean wearing police force is not correct. This was not researched or set in the proper place. Yuma, where the Las Vegas cop was to be met is over 6 hours from Window Rock, AZ. Window Rock AZ is in the Northwestern part of the state... The Navajo Police wear badges not name tags.

I have taken this back to Hastings and demanded refund of the rental fee of fifty two cents.

Would have been nice if they filmed NEAR THE REZ.
