The Indian (2007)
10/10
A compelling film for every age range
7 August 2006
I was able to catch this wonderful film at the producer's screening at Sony. It is an excellent father-son film, driven by the core value that every father needs to connect, and be valued by, his son. A familiar hand, Sal Landi, revisits a lost opportunity which he once had with his own father. The son, played by hunky young actor Matt Dallas is lost, disaffected, but needy - a perfect draw for the young female demographic via his Kyle XY series.

With opportune hype, and effective placement, this film will impress all audiences. It is crisp, moves forward with balance and solid character development, and draws all necessary emotions to be a winner.

Most impressive is the directorial and production debut of writer, filmmaker James Gorrie. The debut screening clearly touched everyone in attendance.

"The Indian" has everything - a man facing his present and past, redemption, loss, pain, courage, love - and something we all need - the trust and respect of our family.

I would recommend this movie to anyone.
