Greetings from Lithuania.
"The Indian Runner" (1991) is forgotten drama that features good story and powerhouse acting by all involved. Directing was good by Sean Penn yet its the writing who slows this movie down from being better then it could be. For what its worth seeing this film is acting - performances by then unknown Viggo Mortensen, David Morse, and Patricia Arquette are powerhouse - especially by Vigo and Patricia - they would easily be nominated both if this movie would have been released today.
Overall, "The Indian Runner" is a slow burning yet intense drama mostly due to powerhouse acting. This is why it is worth seeing it.
