猎凶风河谷影评:A simple thriller, yet a powerful melodrama
Sicario and Hell or High Water shows that Taylor Sheridan is a talented writer, and here in Wind River, Sheridan proves that he is also a brilliant director.
The story is really simple here. Perhaps the most thrilling part is the gunfight outside Matt's trailer, which is not only violent, but also astonishing. The scene of Cory and the raper on the mountain is also exciting. Sheridan succeeds in giving the audience the authentic experience.
The movie emphasizes more on the emotional transition after losing the loved ones. In Wind River, Jeremy Renner gives his career-best performance. The editing is amazing when Jane knocks on the door and the rape story is seamlessly told in flashback. Together with fantastic music, sound, camera-work and makeup, Sheridan simply makes a powerful melodrama that surely moves every viewer.
