The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie is one of my all time favorites. I have looked all over to find a copy and can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know where I could get one? It is a typical, older movie, and you won't get the cinematography you find today. However, I find that easy to overlook in this particular movie - it is so good. It catches your heartstrings and holds them throughout - and you are left emotionally spent when it's all said and done. It really leaves you looking in the mirror and evaluating.... It's a great date movie and also a wonderful family movie - you'll want to watch it more than once. Don't watch it if you don't already have the popcorn popped, it's worth your full attention.

A surprisingly engaging story on a very low budget works well for the most part. However, the striking presence of Geoffrey Land as the mysterious Indian kipnapper is largely wasted. The movie would have profitted a great deal by dwelling more on the the girl victim and Land's enigmatic character before the obligatory denoument.

Cornball, super low budget film with amateur performances by all...and that includes Rich Boone. Actually, Boone gives his standard act, which seems to be basically all he cares to deliver. I suppose he has his bit down pat and doesn't care to deviate. The best performance of all came from his mutt, Bar Killer, who totally outshone all of his human counterparts. The tired old 'indian takes a white slave' story has been done to death by Hollywood and this picture merely trods over the same old turf as the gritty little brother goes after his abducted sister with the "help" of a pusgutted wino and a dying redskin. The whole production was grade B and totally predictable all the way. I must say the scenes of Arches Monument were excellent and captured the rocky beauty of the southwestern U.S. nicely.

1st watched 10/7/2000 - (Dir-Earl Bellamy): Despite obvious low-budget and G-rating(with very intense themes) this movie shows what true love & faith is about and keeps you interested til the end. Portrays dying for others in a real way with God prevailing by protecting all those involved with him.
