Medicine River (1993)
Margolin could have put more into it.

Although Margolin picked up on several key elements of the novel, he did a poor job at fully representing Thomas King's novel. The acting was less than good and the plot is slow to develop, with no real climax, as one would expect from any good film. Graham Greene does an o.k. job in terms of acting for this film, although his love scenes certainly leave something to be desired. Even when in the arms of his Toronto girlfriend, he shows little emotion or affection, making it hard to believe that he is really putting any effort into the performance. It is clear that the film is made for TV and the quality reflects as such. My recommendation would be: don't read the novel before watching the film.
