Review of Wind River (2017) by Tony1984 — 03 Oct 2017
Jeremy Renner does his best Clint Eastwood in this atmospheric Wyoming thriller/drama. Elisabeth Olsen is excellent as the city gal who comes to appreciate the old style American West , its people and their stoic philosophy regarding the hardships of life.
. It is of course a over the top, Wyoming is actually a very nice happy place and the Native American population are by no means lost causes as portrayed here, but still very enjoyable and different to the usual fare.
The who dunnit is good, the soundtrack very good and the Wyoming backdrop excellent. Supporting cast is also excellent. Minus points for excessive unnecessary violence and the Wyoming Wildlife Service policy of killing mountain lions and wolves for worrying livestock.
Seriously annoyed by that.
