Movie Reviews of The Indian Runner
Movie Review: "Highway Patrolman" comes to the screen
Summary: 4 Stars
Joe (Morse) has been trying to do his best since he lost the farm. He's a cop now.
Frank (Mortenson) is a returning Vietnam vet, who was in trouble well before he went to war. The first thing that happens when he comes back is he robs Joe's wallet of $40, goes elsewhere and lands in jail for striking his girlfriend (Arquette).
When Joe invites Frank back to live with them, it's a recipe for disaster. This is a bleak, very real drama. It's well-acted on everyone's part, but a bit slow. Definitely an interesting period piece and character study. "Indian Runner" proves Sean Penn can direct as well as act.
Rebecca Kyle, September 2008
Summary of The Indian Runner
Sean Penn announced his retirement from acting, then wrote and directed this emotionally raw, somewhat sprawling film, suggested by Bruce Springsteen's song "Highway Patrolman." David Morse is the title character, an upstanding citizen and peace officer who tries to help his troubled--and troublesome--brother (Viggo Mortensen), recently returned from Vietnam. The brother and his girlfriend (Patricia Arquette) have bad news written all over them--but Morse does what he can to be protector, to no avail. Penn, whose model was John Cassavetes, favors long scenes that draw intense emotions from his cast, which includes Charles Bronson (in an unusually low-key role), Sandy Dennis, and Valeria Golino. But it's as depressing as Springsteen's song. --Marshall FineDrama DVD Video
