Viggo Mortensen in Indian Runner
Indian Runner Cast and CrewViggo Mortensen: Frank Roberts Other leading roles: Indian Runner SynopsisThis powerful and haunting story of two brothers was Sean Penn's directorial debut. The elder brother Joe (Morse) is a good, stable family man who deeply loves his charming and unpredictable younger brother Frank (Viggo). When Frank returns from Vietnam, his drinking and inability to control his violence drag him deeper and deeper into trouble, despite all his own efforts to make a life and Joe's efforts to rescue him. Indian Runner Brief ReviewIf you have seen Viggo only in heroic roles, you may find it unnerving to see how thoroughly he becomes this angry, disturbed, self-destructive character. At the same time he lets you see the pain that drives Frank, allowing us to care about the character even at his worst.

Indian Runner: Review - Two thoughtful reviews of the film, plus a link to a 3rd review and other resources. From the first review: "... this is Viggo's film, it utterly stands or falls on him, and his performance is brave, startling, inventive and riveting - Frank is so complicated and paradoxical (where was the Academy that year?)."
