On the evidence of this tediously scripted, ploddingly directed tale, director, co-writer and star Johnny Depp should stick to what he's best at, acting. An unbelievable story of a contemporary American Indian driven to desperate measures to make a better life for his wife and two children, it just looks like a vanity project for Depp. Given words that are ludicrously overblown, Marlon Brando does his best with the pivotal scene in which he, as a sinister mystery man, offers Depp $50,000 if he agrees to be killed a week later. Things get more and more preposterous as the movie lumbers on and the climax is merely ridiculous. The intentions may have been worthy, but the results are illogical and laughable.
