The compelling Coyote Waits is based on one of the Leaphorn and Chee mystery novels by Tony Hillerman (all three have been adapted for television), concerning a partnership, of sorts, between an experienced Navajo detective, Joe Leaphorn (Wes Studi), and a young reservation cop, Jim Chee (Adam Beach). When the latter's colleague and friend ends up shot to death and left to burn in a fiery car, Chee takes time off to evaluate whether he should become a healer instead of a lawman. Either way, he can't proceed without getting to the bottom of the killing and proving or disproving his own original assumption that the murderer is a shaman he found drunk and in possession of a gun near the crime. Working the case from a different angle is Leaphorn, who finds a link between the shaman and a missing university professor on the trail of a major historical find. Beach and Studi are terrific, though the story doesn't bring them together, in the same space, very often. (The two characters do most of their communicating by phone.) Familiar faces in the supporting cast include Gary Farmer (Dead Man), Keith Carradine (Deadwood), and Graham Greene (Dances with Wolves). Sheila Tousey is outstanding in her recurring role as Emma Leaphorn, Joe's wise, no-nonsense wife. --Tom Keogh

It's usually not cricket to compare a movie with the book it was based on, but in this case everything that was good about the book was missing in the movie. What makes Hillerman's books so wonderful is that he manages to convey Navajo culture with subtlety and profound authenticity. But in this film, Hillerman's Navajo characters were transformed into cardboard cutouts, and the culture that Hillerman so skillfully conveyed was reduced to some flute music and close-ups of elders telling old myths. ...

Great movie based on the book by Tony Hillerman. We Studi and Adam Beach make a great Chee/Leaphorn team.

This is a must see for any Tony Hillerman fan. Robert Redford did a fantastic job in bringing these works to life and has done exceptional work in bringing the Jim Chee/Joe Leaphorn partnership to screen. The stories work because not only do they cast two excellent actors in Adam Beach and West Studi, who have exceptional chemistry, but the supporting casts are excellent in their own subtle ways.
I would recommend this anyone who enjoys Tony Hillerman and who enjoys the history and culture ... Read More
