Studi (The Last Of The Mohicans) gives a stunning performance as the fearless warrior who was the last Indian leader to surrender to the white man. Betrayed by the Army s legendary "Indian fighter" General George Crook (Hackman) Geronimo leads a small band of warriors in escape. Pursued by a principled officer (Patric) a grizzled Army scout (Duvall) and a gung-ho West Point graduate (Matt Damon Good Will Hunting) Geronimo evades capture through brilliant military strategy and cutthroat courage. His true story is both an action adventure and a spiritual journey through the heart of a warrior. "Two thumbs up for GERONIMO: AN AMERICAN LEGEND a visually stunning elegy to the last of the great Apache leaders." Siskel & EbertSystem Requirements:Starring: Jason Patric Robert Duvall Gene Hackman and Wes Studi as Geronimo. Directed By: Walter Hill. Running Time: 115 Min. Color.

Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396587090 Amazon.com: Walter Hill's revisionist take on the American cavalry's campaign to capture renegade Chiricahua Apache warrior Geronimo (Wes Studi) is, like Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, a dark tale that both celebrates and critiques myths of the American West. Despite its title, Geronimo is really about the American cavalry officers who undertake the responsibility of recapturing the warrior, in particular the young narrator Lt. Charles Gatewood (Jason Patric), a Civil War hero who respects the great Geronimo and brokers a treaty with the Chiricahua, only to see it collapse when the army kills the tribal medicine man. Gene Hackman plays Gen. George Crook, the proud but sympathetic officer charged with bringing in the renegades who take to hills after the killing. Robert Duvall, the tough, racist army scout and Indian fighter Charlie Sieber, practically steals the picture with his cagey, underplayed performance. More complex and complicated than most Westerns, this is a Walter Hill film through and through: lean, ironic, beautiful to look at (it was shot on location against the astounding landscape of southeastern Utah), and driven by a wonderful Ry Cooder score. Don't confuse this with the 1993 TNT cable film by the same name; it confounded many viewers at the time of its release and may have been at least partially responsible for its box-office disappointment. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Birthday gitftThis is a bithday present for my husband his b0dat is in Oct. so he has not recieved the movie as of now. But he has watch it on cable and told me he wish he could watch the whole thing. He seems just to get in a little bit here and there. He loved the parts he saw so I am sure he will relly love the whole movie. Thanks, Rating: - Great movie!Geronimo is a truly enjoyable movie; Amazon was prompt with shipping and the DVD arrived in perfect condition. Rating: - The forgotten playersFrom a cinematic point of view, this movie was a fine work of art. I was taken by the landscape and by the performances of Wes Studi as Geronimo and Gene Hackman as "Nantan Lupan." But what this fan appreciated most about this movie was the appearance on an unsung military officer by the name of Charles Gatewood - it was past time for the part he played in the "Apache Wars" to be acknowledged. Gatewood was apparently an individual of some integrity and appeared to be able to carry out his orders ...

The events depicted show a sad history lesson of a proud nations demise, and the hopeless course of events that led to their eventual downfall. The film is well acted by all the leading stars and the reality and authenticity of the movie are professionally portrayed. This is a movie that all should see and appreciate the struggle that unfortunate people have ...

Britton Davis commenced a narration of this sensitive and fascinating account of events relating to America's campaign against the Chiricahua-Apache and, in particular, Geronimo's role in that conflict, it became evident that this film possessed a rare and special quality. Indeed, I have never viewed a more compassionate and engaging rendering of the American western experience. For this I remain full of admiration for Walter Hill's eminently successful endeavor ...
