Nice scenery, 17 December 2006

Author: jagarcia14 from United States

The scenery and many of the actors are very good looking (Wow, Julia Jones is beautiful!), but that's all I can say good about this movie.

I could have written a better script and dialogue, and I'm not a writer! The movie relies on stereotypes to create characters. The stereotypes are over-used and the dialogue is terrible. I was saying lines before the actors said them, and this was the fist time I saw the movie! Rick Shroder, don't be discouraged but this one didn't turn out well.

The movie is a good reminder, though, that the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the whole Reservation system has been a failure for the people it was supposed to help.
