This movie is so full of holes the wind whistles as it blows through. Or are those the sighs of boredom? The premise: young lovers get into debt to a vicious loan shark while trying to work a scam on professional gamblers. The script provides fairly realistic characters. The problem is that they range from unlikeable to despicable. There is not a single sympathetic character in the entire movie. The young Lothario is commendably open minded as regards to race(he is a white guy), unfortunately he is a lazy,crooked, drug dealer. And stupid to boot. His very attractive Lakota lover is sweet, charming and also a grifter who feels it is her right to shoplift because the store owner is white. But she seems willing to blow him to get out of the shoplifting charge. The first major hole in the story is that they try to work the scam to get enough money to set up housekeeping off the rez. The lad is 25 years old, has well to do parents and blows off a quarter of a million inheritance for noble love of his brown skinned sweety. Oh, and because he doesn't want to get a job. He is willing to deal with loan sharks and criminals, but won't scam his own parents. Not plausible. Second hole. They go to the shark for money for a risky venture, but he has ten thousand dollars worth of drugs in his guitar. Duh! Sell the dope and get off the rez. Third hole, he says he is holding the drugs for a friend, but then he calls his friend and sells him the drugs. What?? Fourth hole. He is from white middle class Rapid City SD, but he goes to Pine Ridge to "find himself" or something, OK,but he makes drug and love connections in about two days. He goes to the rez with a nice looking car, but when we enter the story, he steals a van to escape gamblers who are chasing him on foot(neither of whom look like they could run fifty yards). And we all know that people leave their keys in their vehicles on Oine Ridge, right? What happened to the car? Besides these two losers, we have the girl's brother, portrayed as a lay-about who beats up some schlemiel who knocked up one of his sisters(or someone's sister) but leaves the loan shark who threatens his other sister's life and terrorizes his parents completely alone. The loan shark is a racist of course, and so are lover boy's parents, blatant, vulgar racists who insult a girl their son has brought home to meet them. The holes continue but let me say that the acting and camera work are slightly better than most porn flicks. Well, maybe not really better. But at least equal to porn acting.
