The Dark Wind
The Dark Wind ★½ 1991 (R)
The first of Tony Hillerman's popular Native American mysteries comes to the screen in a lame adaptation. Phillips stars as the Navaho cop investigating a murder on a New Mexico Indian reservation. Since the Navaho believe a “dark wind” enters a man's soul when he does evil, expect some “spirited” goings-on as well. 111m/C VHS, DVD . Lou Diamond Phillips; D: Errol Morris; W: Eric Bergren.
