2ndwind: Paid to go see this movie twice on the big screen and have watched it at home at least 5 times. I have it on DVR and show it to my house guests often - everyone seems to enjoy it. I enjoy it and give it a moderate general rating of 83 out of a possible 100. I have been through and to the Wind River country (and Reservation) many times - it is beautiful country. Jeremy Renner, I think, is a great actor (under-rated?) as well as Jon Bernthal and Gil Birmingham (the Indian father of the victim). Several good actors in the movie and I am glad it made the producers some profit (Cost $11,000,000.00 and its made $45,000,000.00 so far!). The "Wind country" of Wyoming is well worth the effort to get there! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
I just watched it again the other day. It is an enjoyable movie.
If you watch the reloading scene and look at the powder on the shelf, there is actually a pound of IMR-3031 up there. That’s a pretty good detail as that it is one of the best 45-70 powders.
Except for the part where he was weighing each bullet before reloading each round. 😬

The gal that played the murder victim is the same little hottie Chinese gal that plays an Indian on the Paramount series “Yellowstone”
Overall, it’s a very good flick. I’ve watched it several times.

Good movie. If I remember correctly, there were several folks from the Longmire series in it.
Yep.

I don't remember that scene, so I don't recall where those were jacketed or cast bullets, but either way, one of my friends who shot BR competitively did that with his match bullets and I damned sure did it with my heavy cast bullets 'cause that was the only way to determine which had air pockets that might be off center affecting accuracy .. sometimes pretty badly. It is worth doing on the GBL / GSBL / guide guns ... I've never owned one that wasn't a sub MOA rifle.

Yep. I’ve seen Match Shooters to that. He was loading jacketed hunting bullets. Big waste of time.

He worked the mouth of that case to death.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Yep. I’d forgotten about that.

same as dances with wolves.....
One of the things I liked about Wind River vs Dances with Wolves was that there were "bad guy" Indians in WR.... not the case in DWW.
I thought Wes Studi was good as the Pawnee villain.
Wind River is an excellent flick, IMHO in part because it freely references Indians murdering other Indians, as in the central character's late teenage daughter.

From the trailer posted it looks like Gil Birmingham who plays Chief Thomas Rainwater in the Yellowstone TV series is in Wind River, too, though not as well dressed and groomed as he is in Yellowstone.
Jeremy Renner has some pretty impressive athletic skills (fast forward to the 3:10 mark) :

His time to be used how he wishes. Lol.
Never take life to seriously, after all ,no one gets out of it alive.
