PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

fraguert This great movie which I first saw in the early 90's was recorded in Red Rock, which is 110 km north-east of Thunder Bay, or 1300 km north- west of Toronto. Red Rock is located at the very northern tip of Lake Superior, in Nipigon Bay in Ontario. I found this movie extremely well made with it's story including sweat-lodges spiritual visions, graphic vengeful violence set far away in a country of forests and lakes, between Lake Superior and Nipigon Lake obviously, in other words far enough for someone to skin somebody alive where nobody will hear him scream... Arthur not only embodies Peter Maguire's anger but the spirit of the natives of that part of the world and their frustration at white people logging enterprises that destroy the forest and encroach on their land. This movie is not for the faint of heart. When Arthur disappears under water at the end of the movie you know he didn't die drowning because you see his medallion at the neck of the cute little Indian girl Paulie afterward... A definite must-see for those who are nature lovers like me.

startpointprod Yes, I give this movie a 10, and it's definitely worth it. This film should be required viewing, not only for film students, but for anyone dealing with the current social problems affecting the native population. This is a film you want to watch... I mean WATCH with every fiber of your being... it is food for the brain to be sure. In the end, I think you take away what you put into this one, and will come away with a new found respect for the acting talents of Graham Greene. The writing, while perhaps a bit obtuse for some viewers goes a long way to getting the point across... but I won't tell you what that is, you must see this one yourself. Perhaps all I can say is it puts into perspective the spiritual force that lies just below the surface in us all. Wrong will never be right, and no matter what mask it wears, in the end Kharma will win out. Ya gotta see this one... really!

BigLaxFan94 This film was worth a 7 to me because I loved how Arthur threw his weight around with Peter and Bud. Arthur only behaved that way with them because he needed to teach a very valuable lesson on how nature can never be tampered with. Obviously Bud and Peter never saw it that way nor did they see things from the Native perspective the way Arthur did. Since Bud never cared one way or another what happened to the trees because he was the papermill manager. He only cared about profiting from those trees so he needed them to be cut down. Peter's problem was that he was trying to take both sides of the issue to try and please Arthur and Bud. Since Peter was a lawyer it was his intuition to see things from all sides. Although the Natives lost the court case, Peter however did try and smooth things out and ease the tension for everyone involved and for that, I give him credit. But it was from Arthur's viewpoint that makes this film so cool. The important lesson needed to be taught to the other 2 men. Since Arthur rightfully committed those acts of violence towards Bud, Peter and those police officers because that was really the only way the situation was to be handled. If Arthur was just a regular human, he may have put up a fight but I don't think he would have gotten away with the things he did. He just would have been arrested and put away as "just another Indian who's only place is in jail". Ironically enough, Bud and Peter were arrested by police at the end of the film. Wow, what wrong have they done to society?? LOL The 2 men felt like THEY were the victims of the whole ordeal, not Arthur! LOL Well............ anyways............ thanks for allowing me the time to review on this film as well. Take care. ;)

duke_manga_man At the start of this film, it seems to be expressing anger about encroaching on native lands and environmental destruction. Soon it is evident it is about the outrage itself - and at what stave that it becomes unacceptable as it ventures into violence. This film is even more relevant now than when it was released, given the violence in the WTO protests.You are never sure if Arthur is human, a god, or some vengeful spirit. The way he enters and exits the film keeps this a mystery.Although it has its faults, a very provocative film.
