For those of you who are offended that this movie insinuates nothing happens on Staten Island--get over it-nothing does. I'm a NYC paramedic and I know of what I speak. Chris Noth played this character very realistically. I think Dick Wolf made good use of a great character and an excellent actor. I would also like to give kudos to the 34th Avenue Bowl in my old neighborhood. Chris, why didn't you tell me? We could have hung out! Jeanine

It inspired me
20 September 1999
I'm no critic, but I know what I like. I am American Indian and this film spoke to me on 2 levels. As a woman, I liked the idea that Ryah Shadowfeather did not need anyone to help rescue her or avenge her parents' murders. I think it also gives the non-Indian a look at some very real problems still faced today on the rez. Rachel McLish may not win an Oscar, but I saw the anger in her face and the rage that lived inside her character. Overall, I like the premise that change will not come from the outside but from within ourselves as a result of inner courage, strength and pride.
