So, Samuel Jones (Tommy Lee Jones) is the long lost father of Maggie (Cate Blanchett), who is a healer and mother of two daughters. My dad loved it as it combined the two aspects he likes the most - a gripping western story line combined with a strong leading actors. Reinforces just how badly treated the Native Americans were and the suffering they went through.

Story keeps you on edge. As did Cate Blanchett. For those that complain that it doesn't follow the book that it is based on I would say that that is not usually the purpose of a movie. Sam ends up in the local jail, which is rather convenient, because while the ranch hand, another guy, and Maggies two daughters go off, the oldest, Lilly, gets kidnapped by some renegade Native Americans. Unless you hate westerns the chance is very good that you will like this movie and be moved by the characters who play the parts exceedingly well.

This movie shows a hard time to live on the frontier-- we can barely imagine it, but those who take pot shots at this movie frankly don't know what they are talking about.
The most convincing and the meanest in this film is the Apache Brujo played by Eric Schweig. When a medicine woman sees her daughter abducted on the frontier by Apache rebels, she must enlist the aid of her estranged father to save her child.

I don't believe that most fans of Ron Howard consider this among his best films but it is one of my favorites. Great cinematography and locations.
