New Year, New Decade and Very soon a New Storyline Off-the-cuff of our 200th Post, But Before that we have Jason Momoa's Transitional Period from Tv Star to Justice Leaguer and it's also hi s directorial debut and he penned this film too
THIS COVER IS JUST BAD
Sepia, Brown, Red, Black, White!
Usually a Combination of 2 or even 3 of the above colours can tell you about the story, But this is a just a Face Shot with a Bright camera, Because of The closeness of the faceshot and the glare of the light, we are looking at Jason's Forehead, not the real focus point which should be his war paint, which i had to look close a few times to register it was there! Also the Brightness of the image is actually altered to the real life cover so disregard the doctored photo when reading this paragraph
We Open on Fugitive Robert Wolf, Posing as a fencer Fitting Broken Fences for the Railroad in the Sierra. It's though work and he get's his hand cut. That Night Robert goes to his grandfather's garage where he was working on his bike. the job is 60 Dollars, but the railroad fleeced Robert to 50! So Bob hands Robert a Wrench to finish it together!
So Grandad's name is Bob so when the Federal Agents came today looking for a Robert Wolf they came for him! He exposists that Robert is on the run for killing the man who killed his Mother!, So with the bike fixed Robert bids his grandad goodbye!
On the Run Again, Robert rides to a Reservation. The FBI puts there best Agent, Williams on the case. Williams a White agent, scoff about how a white man with a gun was easily killed by a "INJUN WIF A ROCK!"
At the Reservation, Chief Wolf senses his son's presense as he is making spears, Fearing his sons life he offers him a room for the night! More Exposistion, Mom's dead, his Sister has her ashes, Turn Yourself in Son It's not too Late, The Whiteman's Law is not my law...BLAH BLAH BLAH!
Cut to the Agent Williams and Sheriff Sctaffer at the scene of the crime, A trailer Park, Wolf invaded the home of Charlie Grimsby, scalped him and broke every bone in his body or as the cop put it "He Turned him into a Human Maraca!
Outside statelines Wolf's bike breaks down again, Hitching a Ride he ends up in the backalley of a bar. Inside the Bar's band frontman, Cash Gattis, attacks his Guitarist and walks out, he goes to steal the bike But Balks When he sees the owner tower over him.
Drunk Off his Ass, Cash babbles about being a time traveler. In the Morning a Sober...ish Cash asks Robert to find his Bike. At Robert's Garage, Agent Williams threatens to Put Bob back inside for his involvement with the murder and uses his granddaughter to get to the Old Man!
Cutting back to a Vomit Shot (KEEP IT CLASSY!) The 2 discuss Bikes and Romanticizes the feeling of freedom of being a biker! So for no real Reason Cash decides to Join up with the murderer he just met!
So they ride south to a second Reservation, Meet his grandmother and light fireworks in his mother's memory.
The Next morning Cash replaces all the food he vommed up in his last scene by ordering and eating 2 breakfasts for himself...except Wolf has no Money, The diner owner goes to call the police but Wolf agrees to do dishes after Cash pulls a Diva Strop!
So to make quick money...and also teach Cash a lesson, Robert makes him bare knuckle fight in a Junkyard for his bike...AND SOMEHOW WINS!
Williams and Schaffer meet up with Native Police, who are not happy with White cops getting off their Donut Holes to care about Native crime only because a white got murdered...even if it was Justified!
At a Gas Station, Wolf helps a woman (Lisa Bonet) with her broken down car, She introduces herself as Madeline, Cash argues with his wife over the phone, they have money problems and they are selling there house, so Cash leaving his gig to end up with god-knows-who really pissed her off!....so off course if you have money troubles, you are going to spend your cash on Strippers, and Cash get's fucked up again when it's time to pay up!
Wolf drives Madeline to the Orange Grove where she lives and tends for. Wolf tells her part of his story leaving out the cause of his mother's death and his intent to STEAL his mother's ashes if he has to!
So after spending the night, Wolf leaves in the dead of night, but it's to retrieve Madeline's car, Not thinking she would follow him on a push-bike, He fixes her care for her and in return, She shaves him and cuts his hair, wolf is now clean-shaven and has a ponytail!
He finds Cash Dumped in a Car Boot feeling sorry for himself. Williams and Scaffer question the Junkyard fight-ring leader and sells Wolf out. Schaffer thinks Cash is "Irish", Wolf's former running buddy and Brother in law, when he hears that Wolf travelled with a white man
On the way, Wolf is stopped by a young boy covered in blood. His sister has being kidnapped and about to be raped, Wolf kills him with his bare hands. Bloodied but still breathing, Wolf brings her to a Police station, Wolf is Arrested for his good deed, but the native Cop turns a Blind eye, faking an attack and getaway from the two fugitives over the radio.
So Cash confesses over the Murder, but Grimsby raped her before dealing the blow! Cops did nothing because it was a white man and the trail was a farce! Even with that, Cash helps Wolf to Paloma, to Irish's House, where he and his wife have a surprise: A godson, named Wolf, This may make taking the ashes even harder, But they make a good point that spreading them on the lake means Wolf will be vulnerable to attack
So Let's finish this!
Irish drives Wolf to the lake, Williams Interrogates Irish and Sarah Wolf and threatens to put their son in an Orphanage, Forced to be a guide Irish brings the cops to the lake, and as he escapes, Schaffer shoots him in the shoulder. and so our story ends, with Robert Wolf out of options, taking a Bowie Knife and committing Seppeku with it.
THIS FILM DOESN'T SUCK BUT I'VE SEEN BETTER!
If you can look past the short showing (87 minutes) and Suspend your Disbelief long enough to convince yourself a Samoan can be a Native American, You'll find a competently written, acted and Directed story. Sure it's on a shoestring budget and you can see the ending a mile-off, but not bad for a directorial debut, Sure you'll forget watching this film or any film this middle of the road, but 11 years of doing this, We have read of this that i have seen worse!
TRUST ME!
IN 5 MORE POSTS!
WE!
WILL!
SEE!
WORSE!
