When a top-notch Writer/Director like Taylor Sheridan (Hell
or High Water, Sicario) is in charge, you can bet that you’re going to
be in for a treat. Wind River is proof of
that.
Jeremy Renner plays a tracker/hunter for the Fish &
Games Bureau in Wyoming. Sent to find a mountain
lion that has killed a steer, he comes upon the body of a murdered young Native
American girl (Kelsey Asbille). Because
the body is on an Indian Reservation, the FBI is called in and Elizabeth Olsen
shows up as a fairly new agent, who grew up in Florida and is not at all experienced
with snow in the high country.
The interaction between Renner and Olsen plus the intricacies
of the case make for an exciting film.
And the performances Sheridan draws from Renner, Olsen, Asbille, Graham
Greene, Gil Birmingham, Julia Jones and the rest of his fabulous cast all make
for an immersive audience experience.
If you want to take a break from all the fantasy films
with fantastical action, Wind River will give you a real life
adventure you will not forget. I give it
a 4.2 out of 5.
