For the Northern Cheyenne tribe of Lame Deer, Montana, the American Dream has taken a grim detour. Here, Buddy Red Bow (A Martinez) is a committed activist battling a suspicious land-grab. Philbert Bono (Gary Farmer, in a performance Roger Ebert calls one of the most wholly convincing Ive seen) is a serene spiritual warrior guided by sacred visions. But when Buddys estranged sister is framed and jailed in New Mexico, the two men take Philberts rust-wrecked 64 Buick war pony on a road trip that makes some very unexpected stops along the way. Inspired comedy. Deeply satisfying action. A rare backbone of intelligence. A pretty irresistible move. Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times (DVD, 87 min., rated R for language)
