Full Plot Details

An intensely sad film about two brothers who cannot overcome their opposite perceptions of life. One brother sees and feels bad in everyone and everything, subsequently he is violent, antisocial and unable to appreciate or enjoy the good things which his brother desperately tries to point out to him. Frank understands the atrocities of life as a big picture; Joe does not. Joe is content to enjoy smaller pleasures: children, family, routine. Joe mistakenly believes he can straighten his little brother out and convince him that life is good. Frank is a cursed man. He is cut between his love for his brother and his repulsion at self-indulgent contentment. The result is a painful story of heartbreak, heartache, disappointment, despair, and the tragic side of love.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleThe Harrison Ford-Sean Connery father-and-son team gives Last Crusade unexpected emotional depth, reminding us that real film magic is not in special effects.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 9/10 by Jay ScottIt's impressive, how thoughtfully Penn handles this material.
USA Today - 9/10 by Mike ClarkIt is just as well that Last Crusade will indeed be Indy's last film. It would be too sad to see the series grow old and thin, like the James Bond movies.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Caryn JamesThough it cannot regain the brash originality of ''Raiders of the Lost Ark,'' in its own way 'The Last Crusade' is nearly as good, matching its audience's wildest hopes.
Orlando Sentinel - 8/10 by Jay BoyarLoose, rambling and sometimes rudderless as it is, The Indian Runner has a fundamental honesty that gives it real substance.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Desson ThomsonStart lining up now, bring a bullwhip -- and maybe some d-Con. Indiana will do the rest.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Dave KehrDespite strong acting (the slapstick energy between Ford and Connery is wasted), obligatory chases and stunts and splendid art direction, the virtuoso technique evident in every frame remains formulaic--unaccompanied by revelation, epiphany or surprise.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffRambling, indulgent and joltingly raw at times, Sean Penn's first outing as a director takes a fair amount of patience to get through but has an integrity that intermittently serves it well.
Senses of Cinema - 8/10 by Bill CraskeAlthough the camera always gives precedence to the actor, Penn is not just merely a manipulator of theatrics. He conjures up superb images rivalling anything in modern American moviemaking.
The Guardian - 7/10 by Derek MalcolmIt has weak spots, including bits of mystical mumbo jumbo about a legendary "Indian runner" with a ghostly message. But most of the film is articulate and absorbing.
