WIND RIVER: Jeremy Renner plays Cory, a US Fish and Wildlife Service tracker whose job to dispatch the wolves and mountain lions that kill livestock on the Wind River Indian reservation in Wyoming. When he discovers the frozen body of a young Indian girl the FBI is called in. A rookie agent from Las Vegas named Jane (Elizabeth Olsen) soon discovers that she is out of her depth in this particular land where government is not a thing to be trusted. The talented Graham Greene gives a wonderful low-key depiction of the reservation police force head. Filmed beautifully in a bleak, snow-covered landscape, this land of snowmobiles is breathtaking at times, as is the performance by Mr. Renner (his best work to date). A bit slow, now and then, but ultimately very satisfying. A near perfect movie.
