Hostiles

Scott Cooper’s “Hostiles” (2017) unflinchingly portrays the twilight of John J. Murlowski, an Army captain whose career has been defined by enmity towards Native Americans. Tasked with a final mission to escort a Cheyenne chief and his family across perilous terrain to their Montana reservation, Murlowski is forced to confront both his own prejudices and the harsh realities of a nation in transition. The film is a sobering reflection on redemption and the enduring scars of history.
