The Indian Runner Blu-ray Posted January 10, 2017 03:55 PM by



Kino Lorber have confirmed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of Sean Penn's film The Indian Runner (1991), starring David Morse, Viggo Mortensen, Valeria Golino, Patricia Arquette, and Charles Bronson. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.



Synopsis: This writing and directorial debut from Sean Penn (Dead Man Walking) is a "raw, intense drama" (Blockbuster Entertainment Guide) filled "with emotion and truth" (Leonard Maltin). An all-star cast featuring David Morse (The Negotiator), Viggo Mortensen (A Perfect Murder), Charles Bronson (Death Wish), Valeria Golino (Rain Man), Patricia Arquette (Stigmata) and Dennis Hopper (Blue Velvet) gives The Indian Runner "a fundamental honesty [and] real substance" (Janet Maslin, The New York Times).



As deputy sheriff in a small town, Joe (Morse) leads a pretty simple life with his loving family. However, his idyllic existence abruptly changes when his troubled brother Frank (Mortensen) arrives unannounced at Joe's door. Much to the chagrin of his wife (Golino), Joe wants to help Frank make a better life for himself. But Joe soon discovers that this is a formidable task. And so Frank continues his destructive behavior, Joe decides he's had enough, and they square off in a final showdown that pits blood against blood.

MikeZ. Jan 10, 2017 Very highly recommended for Direction / Cast. Very rewatchable since 2008 for me. membrane Jan 10, 2017 Never thought I would see this released on blu-ray. Great news!!

fpas Jan 11, 2017 Wow, never expected that one. Great title! My first impression, and probably for many others, of Viggo Mortenson. Unforgettable. dkelly26666 Jan 12, 2017 Very well acted all around. Bronson gives a brief but extremely good performance; this was an unusually deep role and film for him in his later career, that reminded he actually was a very good actor, not just an action tough guy. Really, the first time that I saw Mortenson and Morse in sizable roles, and they are both superb here; Benecio only appears in one very brief scene, this was the very beginning of his career; Arquette is good; and finally, Hopper is Hopper, but he's a slightly dialed down, poetic Hopper. This was Penn's directorial debut, and he's actually a very good director. (His "The Pledge", which is criminally underrated, needs a new release, also).
