What A Find
Came across a new vhs copy of Chiefs this weekend and after watching all 200 minutes I feel as if the thrift store gods were looking down on me. The movie/mini-series "Chiefs" was so captivating that I simply couldn't pull myself away from the screen for all 200 minutes. The story, the setting and the acting all just jelled together with timeless taste.One reviewer pointed out that this movie is proof that the major networks really knew how to put together made-for-tv productions at one time; I agree. Everyone plays their role so convincingly and with such conviction that you never feel a dropoff in the many branches of the story. Actually, every turn in the story brings out more curiousity from the viewer. I'd suggest making this movie a two night viewing, as I'd originally planned. But be careful, you might find yourself putting off all other plans in order to see the startling outcome of Chiefs. Believe me, it's worth every minute.5+ stars
