This seller kept me informed of where the CD was during the shipping process. The item was received in a timely manner. Unfortunately the CD case was damaged upon arrival. However, the CD itself was in excellent condition as posted by the seller. My friend is enjoying the CD. I would buy from this seller in future.

Thunderheart
IT IS A GREAT MOVIE. I REMEMBER THE INCIDENT THAT THE MOVIE WAS BASED ON AND THE STORY STICKS CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL. THE ACTING IS VERY GOOD AND VERY BELIEVEABLE. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT; DO SO!

On the rez, FBI means a whole lot different things than it does on the outside
Full Blood Indian, just for one. "Thunderheart" was released in 1992 and based on several incidents on reservations.

FBI Agent Ray Levoi (Kilmer) was called in to the Oglala Sioux Reservation on special assignment because he's part Sioux Indian himself and the Bureau figured he'd fit in. No further from the truth, Ray quickly learns there's a big difference between a city Indian and a rez one -- and the rez is definitely a whole different world.

The issue is civil war on the Sioux Reservation. A fight's been brewing the last 100 years over traditional Indians versus US Government supporting Indians. When Levoi first arrives, he believes the troublemakers are the traditionals who are deemed rebels by his bosses at the FBI, but as he delves deeper into Sioux culture and his own past, he begins to realize the issues are far deeper than he ever imagined.

Along the way, he teams up with rez cop, Walter Crow Horse (Graham Greene) and Grandpa Sam Reaches (Ted Thin Elk) to learn more about his past and his culture.

Overall, the performances on "Thunderheart" are excellent. The story really keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. This is one of the best Val Kilmer movies I've ever seen and Graham Greene is always stellar.

"Thunderheart" is a film I keep going back to. I've rented this movie several times to show to friends and I'm getting a Blu-Ray version for myself. It's well worth watching every few years.
