Graham Greene brings his customary quiet power and dry wit to the role of the police chief.The movie opens at night in a cold, remote Wyoming Wilderness on the Wind River Indian Reservation. Olsen, who has been co-starring in those Marvel films with Mr. Renner, who’s been spending too much of his career imparting convincing humanity to a second-tier Marvel superhero, is in excellent form as Cory. Sheridan draws from his cast are all excellent. A standoff scene near the movie’s finale would not be shamed if put next to one of Michael Mann’s better set pieces. Sheridan clearly spent a lot of his time learning about filmmaking on movie sets his direction is assured throughout. An actor before he was a screenwriter, Mr. Other than that, he lets the terrible situation on the reservation speak for itself. Sheridan limits himself to one shot of an American flag being flown upside down. This is kind of surprising frequently, writers turned directors really like to bring the hammer down on their subtexts. Sheridan is a little more subtle than Mr. Under David Mackenzie’s direction, “Hell or High Water” tended to overstate its hard-times-in-the-United-States theme it seemed that every fifth shot or so showed a house foreclosure sale sign or a bankruptcy lawyer’s billboard. windbreaker, and Cory calmly informs her that she’ll be dead within five minutes if she goes up the mountain dressed like that. which, going by the attitude of the reservation’s quiet police chief, is consistently less helpful than it should be - dispatches Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen), a seemingly very green agent, to head the investigation. Homicide on an Indian reservation, as it happens, is a federal crime. The dead young woman, who suffered a head injury and was also raped, was the best friend of Cory’s daughter, who died three years earlier under similar circumstances. While searching for a mountain lion that has been attacking livestock, he finds a corpse frozen in the mountain snow. He seems on intimate terms with the residents there his ex-wife, with whom he has a young son and had a daughter, is a Native American with family on the reservation. Here, Jeremy Renner plays Cory Lambert, a federal wildlife officer who hunts predatory animals at the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. The juxtaposition of the imagery and the poetics make for a peculiar opening. “There’s a meadow in my perfect world,” a female voice says. Taylor Sheridan, the screenwriter of last year’s socially conscious crime drama “Hell or High Water,” proves an undeniably strong director with his second effort in that job, “Wind River.” The movie opens on a breathtaking night sky and snow-capped mountains, with a young woman running over a long stretch of open land.
