Wind River rage is a 2017 crime mystery movie starring Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Graham Greene, Kelsey Asbille, and Gil Birmingham. When a second murder occurs in the remote place of Wyoming, the town demands answers.
Cory Lambert (played by Renner) specializes as a Fish and Wildfire Service agent in Wyoming, U.S. A western state that is known for its national parks (Yellowstone), freezing temperatures, and minerals such as oil.
As one of the least populated states in the United States, Cory had hoped for it to be the perfect place to settle down, recreate a family, and enjoy the tranquility of the wilderness.
However, that peacefulness is taken from him once his daughter is murdered. Undoubtedly, the following three years have had a toll on him.
But as any grieving parent, he lives day by day in hopes of a better tomorrow. One morning while hunting, he finds the frozen corpse of a young woman, named Natalie (Asbille). A familiar scenario for him.
So, he contacts Ben (Greene), a Tribal Police officer. But since it is a possible murder, they have to contact the FBI, who assigns agent Banner (Olsen) to the case.
Upon examining the body, Agent Banner is certain that it is a homicide rather than death by natural causes. Admittedly, she realizes that Wyoming is not her territory. It belongs to Cory.
A trained hunter who knows the hábitat of Wyoming and has adapted to navigate through freezing temperatures. Therefore, they decide to join forces.
Having been down this road before, Cory knows the effects of having an unsolved case. Therefore, he vows to Martin (Birmingham), Natalie’s father, to catch the perpetrator.
The perfect opportunity to seek answers and solve this second homicide. Unlike the first homicide of his daughter, which closed as unsolved.
Although it takes some time for the action to kick in, once it does, the cinema will have you on the edge of your seat.
Lastly, Wind River Rage won the “Best Film” for director Taylor Sheridan at the American Indian Movie Award in 2017.
