Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: If you count yourself among anyone with a bit of wanderlust and western fans, this one's for you. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Shelve it next to Dances with Wolves or Bad Day at Black Rock.
The mood: Exciting.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: Made in 1929: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Wing Foot is a Navajo educated in an otherwise all-white school. He experiences prejudice from both the whites (because of his race) and the Navajos (who disown him because of his upbringing). Thus, Wing Foot is looked upon as neither Indian nor white, but simply a "redskin".
