Since Michael Cimino's "Sunchaser" didn't open here in Pittsburgh or hardly anywhere else, I recommended the video to several people, and much to my surprise, the vast majority liked it! It's an absorbing and ultimately touching story about a rich, self-absorbed doctor (Woody Harrelson) who undergoes a spiritual rebirth when he's kidnapped by a young American Indian gangbanger (Jon Seda) who's dying of cancer. There's nothing much new here as the two men are initially antagonistic toward each other before gaining a mutual respect. But Cimino directs it with his usual intensity, and Harrelson gives probably his finest performance. There's also a lot of great shots of the scenic Southwest U.S. I'm sure the panned and scanned video version doesn't do the scenery justice because Cimino shot "Sunchaser" in the 2.35:1 "scope" format. It's yet another Cimino film that deserved better treatment.
