A film noir murder mystery set in the beautiful wine country of California, this film addresses power struggles in the present (poor farm workers/landowners rich enough to pay off the cops) in the past (native americans/well-armed invaders) while keeping the plot and action flowing through countless clues and a haunting soundtrack. Complicated plots intermingle to reveal deep and meaningful backstories. One of the few murder mysteries I've seen where you know enough about the characters to care if they die. With action scenes to get the heart pumping and a love story to boot, this film had everything I could want for some Friday night fun.
