Rating: - surprise
one of best modern day indian/native anerican movie contrasting the old ways with the new.....colorful fast paced keeps your interest as you get involved in the ccharacters..LDP surprised me in the title role. sorry to say the reservations are so neglected but the land so beautiful.. you can imagine why no one trusted the outside world.....you know by history.

Well worth the price I have watched it a number of times and still am able to enjoy it.
