- Radical story - In its day...
I got this video because my brother said it was such a great movie...

He was wrong...

It may have been radical and extreme in its day..

However, with todays sick serial killers, and celebrity cannibals, its pretty tame stuff to watch now..

- Sure beats Disney!
I'm NOT Indian, but I agree completely with baylor in the previous review.

This is a very good film...I own it...watch it maybe once a year - and NOT at bedtime - because I am tired of all the feel-good films and this expresses very well the anger and feeling of helplessness that goes with disenfranchisement.

The characters are true to themselves so have to be admired, even if you don't like them...and in some indefinable way, they all "grow" too.

- Graham Greene in a different role
It has been a while since I viewed this movie but I do recall that I found the role of Arthur an interesting turn for Graham Greene. Most of the exposure I had of him to that point was his role in Dances with Wolves, Maverick and his occasional appearance on the Red Green Show as the bumbling explosives "expert". I appreciated seeing him in a role where he isn't portrayed as the nice guy or "Noble Savage" (for lack of a better term). I thought the story was solid enough and I'll admit I was shocked to see Mr. Greene commit the acts of violence (the finger removal scene was unexpected). I think it is a must see for fans of Graham Greene.

- To The Point
This movie was as it states clearcut. The whole basis of this movie is to make aware what is happening every day to our forests and how our fine Government steps all over the first peoples. How money is more important than our very future. If you caught the end you notice that Arthur disappears into the water which leads me to know that he was in fact a spirit of the tree peoples. I loved the movie.

Rating:

- Worth a rental for Greene fans.
The film is about average in most regards; the plot is somewhat predictable but not painfully so. Greene gives a fair performance, but the film's style is anything but innovative. All in all, this would be worth a rental if you're a Graham Greene fan.

One more thing... Clearcut portrays Red Rock, Ontario as a backwater reservation where people live in squalid conditions. Having lived there for most of my life I must say nothing could be further from the truth. It's an average, sleepy little suburb town the subsistence of which depends on the paper mill in question. The majority of the people there are middle class laborers.
