Wind River; a movie with some lever gun action, even a brief reloading scene.

Nope, he did the screenplay for Sicario. He's been killing it for a while now.

And Wind River is a masterpiece IMHO, which is why I bumped the thread.

Also, Elizabeth Olsen.... drool. This is what happens when you get the womb to yourself.

Didn't this dude also do Hell or Highwater? Also a great flick.
 
Jeez it's probably been 3 or 4 years since I watched Wind River. I thought it was great then. Like others have said gritty, tense, and desperate.

Hell or Highwater was very good as well.

Yellowstone is very good. Just waiting for Rip to go off.

Oh I think we are in the post-Rip world. I'd be shocked otherwise. They've been leading up with him an Beth all last season. There is no way they will get married, ergo Rip has to go. :(

Hell or high water is a very under rated movie. It was awesome.

Totally not on topic but......Imo.....the most under rated movie EVER is "only the brave" with Josh Brolin.
 
Watched about a year ago by accident, thought it was a series for some reason …good movie
 
This is my Wind River inspired 1895 Trapper I got awhile back before prices went full retard. It's a 16.5 inch barrel with peep sights. I think the movie had a 1895 SBL which has a 18.5 inch barrel and was scoped. I've always wanted a big bore lever action as a brush gun but at the time Henry didn't make a side gated 45-70. I probably would have gone Henry if the side gate was available because I like their .22LR levers. I don't know the difference between a remlin vs a JM stamped Marlin but damn does this bring a huge smile to my face everytime I shoot it.

Love that lever gun. I almost bought a 95 45/70 a year or three ago. Held off on pulling the trigger. I've got a NEF single-shot I bought for a lark years ago and I've got a pile of ammo that is just sitting around. I figured if I ever wanted to go hunting up north, the 95 would be adequate. I couldn't decide on which flavor so I died of vapor-lock.

Hell or High Water was meh. I was hoping for a better movie. Great acting. Good script. But a fairly regular plot. But I'm super-critical. It takes a lot to get me excited at a movie anymore.
 
Wind River is like the first Sicario movie, only in the snow.

You sorta THINK it's a movie about the chick. It isn't. It's about the badass. At least Wind River made that clear earlier on.
 
Picked this movie up from Amazon this past week. Wanted to save it for a rainy day.

It was good, probably one of Jeremy Renner's best non-Marvel movies. Great ending also, one many NES members would approve of.

There is a good scene in the deleted scenes section on the disc.

The FBI agent drives up to a motel at night in a raging snow storm. Gets out of her SUV dressed in a business suit, no overcoat or cold weather items. Runs in to the motel lobby to get a room. As she's filling out the form she asks, "Do you give a government discount?"

Clerk: "No. The government never gave me a discount"
 
Was googling various places in Wyoming to live when I came across this (Wind River is a real place):

Wind River Indian Reservation​

"The Wind River Indian Reservation, in the west-central portion of the U.S. state of Wyoming, is shared by two Native American tribes, the Eastern Shoshone and the Northern Arapaho. Roughly 60 mi (97 km) east to west by 50 mi (80 km) north to south, the Indian reservation is located in the Wind River Basin, and includes portions of the Wind River Range, Owl Creek Mountains, and Absaroka Range.

The Wind River Indian Reservation is the seventh-largest Indian reservation in the United States by area, and the fifth-largest[4] American Indian reservation by population. The land area is approximately 2.2 million acres (3,438 sq mi; 8,903 km2), and the total area (land and water) is 3,532.01 square miles (9,147.9 km2). The reservation constitutes just over one-third of Fremont County and over one-fifth of Hot Springs County.[5]

The 2000 census reported the population of Fremont County as 40,237. According to the 2010 census,[6] only 26,490 people now live on the reservation, with about 15,000 of the residents being non-Indians on ceded lands and the town of Riverton. Tribal headquarters are located at Fort Washakie. The Shoshone Rose Casino (Eastern Shoshone) and the Wind River Hotel and Casino, Little Wind Casino, and 789 Smoke Shop and Casino (all Northern Arapaho) are the only casinos in Wyoming."

Did anyone else notice that this movie was a Weinstein company release ???

How Taylor Sheridan Wrestled Wind River Back from the Weinstein Company

Taylor Sheridan couldn’t have his film associated with Harvey Weinstein after sexual misconduct allegations were made against the producer: “I’m gonna take it back.”
www.vanityfair.com www.vanityfair.com

Yes, I read the story of how Taylor Sheriden got the rights back from them after Harvey was outed as a pervert, which is completely understandable.
However, the fact that Weinstein had any interest in this film at all, shows me what a hypocrite he his, just like the rest of the leftist Hollywood elites. Harvey, a rabid anti-2A douchebag, was the same guy who vowed to make a movie that would take down the NRA. But him releasing a movie that features plenty of gunplay and violence is perfectly OK, because it made him money.
 
Weinstein was also behind many other popular violent movies *cough* Quentin Taranfeeto
 
Can't remember if basically a cross post in the Yellowstone thread or if buried somewhere in this one, but someone had made a comment about the main character's incorrect choice in firearms for coyotes- mainly the .45-70. In reality, everything appears to be spot on. In the early coyote scene he takes out the coyotes with some sort of small caliber bolt action. His set up is basically perfect for coyotes. Mountain lion hunting usually involves tracking then cornering / treeing lions for a shot at close range vs. a dangerous animal that can be unpredictable, so a 30-30 or .45-70 lever gun is a good choice for lions. As far as the reloading goes, his .45-70 loads were using bullets on the lighter half of the range, which makes sense. Would have been stupid to be loading up humongous elephant level bullets. Anyway, cool movie and the technical folks did their homework.
