Pleasantly surprised by the movie

Rating: 9/10 (27 September 2018)

Didn't know what to expect really going into the movie, just found it while i was browsing movies to watch. The cast seemed adequate , but upon seeing the film, i must say i have a newfound respect for Jeremey Renner. His performance was quietly powerful.
He gave an earnest and calmly determined portrayal of a man set on helping to solve the mystery of the death of a young woman who turns out was a friend of his daughter, who he lost to a mysterious tragedy as well in recent past.
Elizabeth Olsen was great in her role as the FBI agent called in to help investigate.
She more than held her own and her casting alongside Renner seemed flawless.

ON a personal note, i will mention i watched this with a friend of mine who is actually native american, living in the midwest as well.
THe fact that the movie's setting and plot was based around the the victim being a Native woman , supported by veteran Native american actors , smartly presenting and even noting quite plainly that missing native women go almost undocumented, bring to bear how the movie while still retaining great dramatic and suspenseful appeal, gives a plain insight into the plight that was and still is the painful legacy of natives today.
Great movie, overall.
