"Most of the supporting cast is outstanding and funny jokes fly as the hit men try to infiltrate the close-knit Indian community in Arizona."
Daniel Gibson, Editor NATIVE PEOPLES

"the film was well directed... David Midthunder as comedian Jimmy White Cloud
and Lee Whitestar as his shaman grandfather were perfectly cast."

the plugged out movie review

"the lead actor and heroine are cool, and you get a liberal amount of enjoyment watching this band of reservation folk kick the tar out of the city slicker-mafia from NYC. I liked that."
Michael Erlewine, Founder All-Movie Guide (allmovie.com)

 

 

Red Blood

Written & Directed by Paul Winters

A simple "hit" goes wrong when the Mob meets its match in an unlikely opponent-Native American comedian, Jimmy White Cloud. Jimmy becomes the unwilling recipient of Ray "The Tuna" Grazziano's most cherished possession, "the numbers book". A fast-paced chase follows from the streets of New York to Jimmy's Reservation in Arizona, where he reunites with his Shaman grandfather and rediscovers his heritage, as they join forces to defend themselves and their people from the big-city hit squad.
