Sheridan's third produced feature film script isn't as strong as his first two but is still pretty good - the tale of a murdered Indian girl in a very very cold Indian Reserve. The hero is Cory, a park ranger who shoots wild animals that attack farm livestock - he's a driven man, tormented by the death of his daughter, and kicks arse as much as any Bruce Willis Hero. Jane is the FBI agent on the case, a spunky girl out of her element but brave.
That doesn't sound terribly original and a lot of this isn't but it has a very strong sense of place - a freezing cold Indian reservation, with its oil, meth problems, obese locals.
It takes a bit to get going and for me lagged around the two thirds mark, before they meet the security guards. There are some exciting action scenes, like a stand off and the final shoot out. It was a satisfying finale.
