 In pursuit of a pot pilferer August 4, 2008
R. Kyle (USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Joe Leaphorn (Wes Studi) is on leave when the dispatcher calls him back. What's the big case? He's to serve a warrant on an archeologist who's taken pots from Navajo land. The problem is, he can't find her and none of her co-workers appear to be very helpful.
Meanwhile, Jim Chee (Adam Beach) has problems of his own coming from all sides. He got distracted from security duty and a rather large piece of tribal equipment was stolen. Just as he sees the thieves, he wrecks his girlfriend's BMW convertible.
As the bodies begin to pile up, Leaphorn and Chee realize that they have some issues in common with their cases and reluctantly team up. Will they find the archeologist in time to save her life? And will the woman's work uncover the mystery of the lost Anasazi?
"Thief of Time" was originally produced for PBS. It's based on the Tony Hillerman novel by the same name and produced by Chris Eyre, who's done "Smoke Signals" and other great Native American films. If you just watch the film for the scenery, it's worth it. Add the mystery to it, and you've got a great show.

Really terrible acting not worth the cost of the video
sad really because the cultral scenes could show more of the story
Weak Acting and Screen Play February 25, 2008
Anna K (CA)
This is a horrible PBS Mystery compared to the British ones. The acting is weak. For people who have not read the book, the ending left many questions unanswered like why were the first two murders committed?
 New Mexico - Arizona at their best January 20, 2008
Brian E. Jacobs (Rockport, Texas USA)
This is one of series of movies from the Tony Hillerman novels. While I usually like the novel more than the books, the characters and the scenery are just as I would imagine them.
For Hillerman fans, this is a great movie. For fans of the Southwest and Navajo or Indian lands or traditions, this movies has much to offer.
For those who just want a good mystery with a picturesque settings, this is the movie for you.

I was very pleased with all three of these purchases, and the prompt delivery. I purchased all three of these DVD's for my Daughter's Christmas, and she was very happy.Sincerely, C. Sonntag
