The Red Cloud: Deliverance





















































a5c7b9f00b Jake Red Cloud, a contractor of Native American origin with a mysterious past develops a spiritual bond with Ann Parker. Ms. Jeannine Parker, Ann&#39;s mother, rents to Red Cloud to help supplement her lifestyle of cigarettes, alcohol, soap operas and bad boys. When Ms. Parker&#39;s boyfriend gets out of line with Ann, Red Cloud steps in, finding something that has been missing within himself and gaining an unwanted physical obsession from Jeannine. The dynamic of the relationship between the three changes with dangerous results for all involved. The film picks up a few years after Issues #1 and #2 of &quot;Red Cloud&quot; the comic book which were published with proceeds benefiting the Somaly Mam Foundation. Jake Red Cloud, a Native American gun for hire with a mysterious past, needs a place to lay low. With a flashy bankroll, he persuades attractive Jeanine Parker to rent him a room. Jake quickly learns that Parker is nothing but a chain smoking, promiscuous drunk that neglects and ignores her daughter Ann. Desperate for attention, Ann befriends Red Cloud and soon the two develop a spiritual bond of friendship, which leads Jake to the revelation that something in his life is missing. Before he can act his past threatens to extinguish his life and the lives of those around him. Can&#39;t wait to see the entire film! I like that it has more substance than other action films today. I like the depth of the character, Redcloud, and the way that he is humble yet confident. His character is complex and multi-layered so it&#39;s like peeling away an onion as we get to know more about him &amp; his story. He is dangerous but compassionate towards the suffering &amp; the weak. He&#39;s a bad guy with good intentions. His character draws us in because he evokes our empathy to his plight and we see what drove him to the path that he is upon. Often one whom is a victim of injustice can become driven to pursue a path of recompense. A good hearted man of peace and kindness can find himself on such a path of self-destruction. We can relate to that part of his conflicted soul.<br/><br/>I must also commend a job well done in conveying so much of this character&#39;s soul with non-verbal communication. That is the mark of a gifted actor, to communicate so much with so little words. The lead actor (Kruz) has a gift for this and I think that Benjamin Bratt &amp; Adam Beach will have to step aside for Alex Kruz. :) Also, let me add that I enjoyed the song that is played on the classical guitar in the film. Very invocative of melancholic emotion. He has a good chance at a career in music if he decides to move on to other things, I would have to say. This actor also does his own stunts according to the credits at the end of this episode 1, which is always impressive. Let me stop so as not to burden this native actor with overconfidence. LOL. <br/><br/>By far my very favorite film and I look forward to seeing the rest of the episodes! HOO-AH!
