I watched a couple of movies this week.
Wind River - still enjoy this, had a better viewing on my second go round. Heard the use of the word "prairie nikka" to describe the Native American girl and immediately felt the rage she left off on the PMC dude. Renner killed this shyt and it was so great to see Graham Greene and Gil Birmingham with real rounded roles. Native American actors rarely get that so kudos to Taylor Sheridan for making this film.
Two Jack Ryan/Tom Clancy joints: Patriot Games & Clear and Present Danger. Harrison Ford is as charming and talented as ever. James Earl Jones plays a man of conviction and character better than most actors ever, but both of these films directed by Phillip Noyce were hollow. Yes there is action, yes there is suspense, but in both cases the climaxes are lackluster, the stories seem to meander about, being too many movies at once but not coherent enough. There are two ways to look at these movies. Either they are incredibly boring because Tom Clancy is just that type of storyteller in relation to the CIA or they chose the safest director to make these films because the stakes seem very low, especially for stories involving the head brass of the CIA.
