Watch Shadowhunter For Free

Better Late Then Never

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It is a solid supernatural thriller set in Navajo Indian country - an atmospheric movie. Scott Glenn is a gloomy homicide detective named Cain sent to Indian country to apprehend Nakai Twobear, a serial killer who appears to possess supernatural powers.What looks like a routine transportation job turns into a nightmare when Cain subdues to his prisoner's hypnotic influence. Swerving to avoid an imaginary Indian on the road, he comes round in hospital to discover that Twobear escaped into the wilderness. Wanting to rectify his error, Cain joins a posse that sets off to recapture him. But as the team moves deeper into unknown territory, the hunters become the hunted...Although the film contains some grisly murder scenes, it mostly focuses on constructing believable characters and creating tense suspense sequences. The romantic subplot about the burgeoning relationship between the detective and fetch-able fellow tracker Angela Alvarado does not thwart the drama.The desert and mountain scenery is breathtaking. The movie falls into cliché now and then, with a few dream sequences envisaged to jolt the viewer. But, it does not resort to any boring HALLOWEEN-like ending where the murderer keeps coming back to life.This is a good picture - and I am not speaking in forked tongues.

"Shadowhunter" is not perfect, but it is different. Scott Glenn in his usual sleepy performance mode, is the Los Angeles detective assigned to bring back a Navaho killer from the Arizona reservation. When the "Coyote Man" fugitive escapes from Glenn, a desert pursuit commences. Benjamin Bratt is strong as the rarely seen villain. Robert Beltran, the reservation sheriff, is along for the ride, and Angela Alvarado is the love interest female tracker. The scenery is gorgeous, the mystical aspects are interesting, and our hero takes some real punishment. My only objection is that the rather shallow romantic scenes between Glenn and Alvarado, are nothing but a damn distraction. - MERK

John Cain (Scott Glenn) is a homicide detective passing through personal problems. His wife has just left him, after nine years of marriage. His chief is aware of the problem, and asks him to bring a serial killer, Nakai Twobear (Benjamin Bratt), arrested in an Indian reservation. While driving back to the city with the prisoner, Cain hits the car and the murderer escapes. Cain joins Ray Whitesinger (Angela Alvarado) and other Indian policemen in the chase of the criminal, who has some sort of psychic powers. Weird things happen with Cain, whose soul was possessed by Twobear. In the end, Cain finds again the meaning of life with Ray. This movie has a good mystic story, well constructed, having action, romance and mysticism. I am a fan of Scott Glenn, but he really has a good performance, as a tormented man in a hard time. The slow pace is the unique problem in this good film. It is not a masterpiece, but also it does not deserve such a low rating. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): `A Presa' (`The Catch')

Scott Glenn plays a big city cop suffering from major burn-out, both personally and professionally. He is sent to an Indian reservation in Arizona to extradite a serial killer with psychic powers. The killer escapes, but is able to remain psychically connected with Glenn, who accompanies the reservation police in their attempt to recapture the fugitive. Sinking into ever deepening depression Glenn is salvaged by a lady tracker, played by Angela Alvarado, and eventually finds redemption and romance with her. This is one of Scott Glenn's finest roles as well as being a tightly wound suspense thriller that will keep the viewer on the edge of their seat.
