I read the Brian Garfield's book many times and I love it. But at my big surprise, this Tv movie is even more superior. Characterization is pulled at a higher level, especially when tle bad guys leader - the former Special forces in Nam officer - talks about his motivations; the audience feels nearly empathy for him. Terrific, I did not expect this and this is not in the novel. And the bad guy whistling or singing When Johnny Comes Marching Home, that was not in the novel either, and it's excellent for me, that brings a little touch in this topic after all not so new, I admit, but still very well made. You'll also notice offbeat camera angles very unusual for this kind of production. And the face to face between those two men, the Special Forces veteran, the master of military warfare, even in the wilderness, and this Indian, master himself too in tracking a prey in desert, woods, snow, anywhere, it's breathless for someone like me.
