i like wes studi and especially adam beach and but whoa be this movie a load of pretentiousness . ponderously slow . overly cryptic to the point of obfuscation and not because the plot warrant it but because there be almost no plot . even less in the way of characterization . this be almost like one of those creaky old charlie chan mystery ( the cheap monogram studio version ) with lot of red herring and oddball character ( like the old ex senator with the checker past who be now a recluse ) and load of people get kill over objets dart that you wouldn not look twice at in the mall . great scenery and though . pretty hair on the redhead and too and although i never do figure out what she be do in this at all . neither could my wife . sheesh and at least the old b movie have the decency to be short .
