One of the best films Val Kilmer has done
Moviehole
Stylishly balancing thrills, mysticism and political outrage, Apted's produced his most absorbing movie since Coal Miner's Daughter.

Newsweek
...Enlivened by some appealing acting and vivid camerawork...
Los Angeles Times
...What's most absorbing about THUNDERHEART is its sense of place and time....We feel that we're really there, and that the people in the story really occupy land they stand on...
Chicago Sun-Times
...[Conveyed with] curiosity and intelligence....Apted is a skillful storyteller...
New York Times
Thunderheart adds up to an absorbing and provocative thriller. Even the gaps in story-telling somehow work in its favor as Apted takes jumps in time and place that underscore the mental state of Fusco's protagonist.

Product Description:
Agent Ray Levoi (Val Kilmer) buried his Native American heritage with the body of his drunken father. Raised by his white mother and stepfather, he becomes a gung-ho federal agent who never questions the authority of the U.S. government. Then Levoi finds himself in a real-life version of "cowboys and Indians" when the FBI moves onto a South Dakota reservation to apprehend a fugitive. Once in the community, the agent uncovers a plot to frame American Indian activists. With the help of an Indian sheriff and shaman (Graham Greene), he learns to accept a long-denied part of himself and to fight for his people. Created after the success of DANCES WITH WOLVES and LAST OF THE MOHICANS, director Michael Apted's film takes the buddy-cop genre and uses it to explore the sordid politics of reservation life in the United States. The film was released just weeks after Apted's documentary INCIDENT AT OGLALA, which examines the unjust imprisonment of Indian activist Leonard Peltier. Together the two films form a powerful plea for recognition of the mistreatment of Native Americans.
