Thunderheart is a very slow pace movie, seeming almost boring in the first half. It has little to offer, except a few interesting moments like the gunshot on the boy and some visions of Ray. The dialogue sometimes gets a bit ridiculous, when they try hard to say something funny. And there's another thing I noticed. Frank Coutelle acts pretty much like Robert De Niro, which is (coincidentally?) one of the producers of Thunderheart. It doesn't fit him though, because I got the feeling that he was only copying any of De Niros behavior (even his hair style). They should have taken either another pattern or De Niro should just stand in front of the camera by himself instead of letting others act like a (quite good) copy of him.
However, in the second part, the movie starts to get a bit more interesting. Still it stays very predictable. At the end, you get rewarded for your patience. There's a good plot twist, but I won't spoil it, since it was one of the few reasons I gave the movie 5 stars even though it was mostly boring as hell.
