The Indian Runner Reviews. The film is slow and pretentious, but it's a feature debut and Sean Penn, a distinguished actor, is good with his cast. Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Apr 29, 2011 ...
'The Indian Runner' was Penn's directorial debut, and it is an extremely impressive achievement. Inspired by Springsteen's song 'Highway Patrolman' (from his underrated 'Nebraska' album from the early 1980s), it is a slow, almost hypnotic look at two brothers with totally different world views and their attempts to come to terms with each other.
On the run in our native land, duty and family colliding, brothers on the opposite side of the line, scattered fragments of a shattered family, and everlasting childhood memories taking over the hollow space. A startling debut. Watch out for Charles Bronson here. Stirringly hard-hitting and achingly subtle performance, might be his best.

A tortured examination of the disintegration of a Mid-western family, The Indian Runner is very much actors' cinema. Rambling, indulgent and joltingly raw at times, Sean Penn's first outing as a director takes a fair amount of patience to get through but has an integrity that intermittently serves it well.
