107 Minutes
Starring: Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olson, Jon Bernthal
This factual based movie tells the story of a young Native
American woman on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming who was killed. This is a very suspenseful, thought
provoking, and at times, a hard hitting movie to watch. It is a murder mystery but the twists and
turns of the plot will leave you breathless. Jeremy Renner plays Cory Lambert,
who is a Fish and Wildlife Service Agent who is tracking a cougar when he comes
across the dead body of the woman. The FBI are called in to assist with the
crime. Jane Banner, who is played by Elizabeth Olsen, needs his help as well as
the local reservation police. This story
points out the need of many missing Native American women do not get enough recognition
for crimes against them. It shows the hatred of people but also the compassion
of those who must learn to live with the loss and regardless of race – become
united in fighting against them. This is a superb movie and one that will get
under your skin. One that you’ll think
about for quite a while.
