People talk about the "politically charged" story and Val Kilmer's "outstanding" performance and I wonder if I was watching the same film, because all I saw was yet another glossy cop thriller. The reservation makes an interesting cultural backdrop to an otherwise run of the mill plot about corrupt land deals, unfortunately often resorting to the usual new age "noble savage" perception of native americans that seems distinctly patronizing. Graham Greene makes a great foil to Kilmer's earnest FBI agent, otherwise an entertaining but superficial diversion, but nothing more.
