Wind River: Emotional, murder mystery, gritty crime drama.

Rating: 9/10 (15 September 2017)

There were two aspects that really attracted me to this film 1/ it was based on fact (which is right up my street). 2/ it was written and directed by Taylor Sheridan, who also wrote/directed two of my favorite films in recent years - 'Sicario' and 'Hell or High Water'.
Jeremy Renner plays a hunter sent to kill wolves that are attacking a farmer's sheep when he discovers the body of a girl, first raped and then dumped in the bleak snowy wilderness. A rookie FBI agent, played by Elisabeth Olson is assigned to the case. Together they piece together the evidence and track down the perpetrators. In the end you feel like justice was done.
This is a raw and gritty film. If you like an element of revenge in your murder mysteries, then you'll love this.
