Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
David A Jones Good cast. Very well acted. GREAT scenery. And although my knowledge of such things is a bit limited, the Navajo beliefs were portrayed accurately. What's not to like?Here you have a big city homicide cop whose life is in a shambles and whose wife is leaving him. He wants to quit, but his boss sends him on a "simple" prisoner retrieval.Turns out the prisoner is a shape-shifter, escapes from the big city cop (Scott Glenn), and the ensuing search for the prisoner (Benjamin Bratt) brings the lead tracker (Angela Alverado) and cop together for an interesting and tense adventure.Some of the dialog in the ending scenes was a bit cliché and tedious, but it did not detract from the overall enjoyment I had of the movie.I liked it well enough, I may watch it a 2nd time in the future.jonesey65244
merklekranz "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
Movie Nuttball Shadowhunter is pretty good film. I am surprised with a story like this and with stars such as Scott Glenn and Benjamin Bratt that the film seems to be little known and/or very underrated. The film is quite different though it maybe similar like the film that came years after this called The Missing. Glenn is good as the good guy and Bratt is plays his killer character very good! He has a very unique laugh and is unique to begin with! Angela Alvarado played her part very well! It was cool that Tim Sampson,Lee de Broux, and Robert Beltran were in the film. The action is good. Its good and interesting movie. I really like the Native Americans Indians in it. The sky views in the film very neat! The film has some messages in it. Anyway if you like the cast mentioned above and want to see a very different movie watch Shadowhunter!
Claudio Carvalho 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')
