Not bad, now if only Blockbuster carried the first two movies in this series, maybe we would have some better hear say. This is movie 3 of a trilogy and seems to be the only one Blockbuster has. It's missing Skinwalkers and Coyote Waits.

Tony Hillerman writes some great stories set in the "Four Corners" with Navajos in law enforcement as his main characters. Very interesting crime fiction with the mix of Native American culture. I have not seen very many films with this good of quality of acting by Native Americans. Mr. Hillerman's knowledge perhaps makes for more natural characterizations and a more realistic contemporary NA story.

An adaptation shown for the PBS Mystery! series. Good TV fare, however it is weak as a "stand-alone" film. Acting is hammy, but that is a result of poor directing. If you were a TV watcher in the 90s you will have seen all the actors before in better roles. Chris Eyre is a wonderful director, but in this film he stumbles.
