Black Cloud (Eddie Spears), a tough young Navajo, garners the attention of a scout (Peter Greene), who offers him a shot at the American Olympic boxing team. Black Cloud, however, refuses if it means bringing glory to his people's white oppressors. After he gets into a fight with his girlfriend's ex, Eddie (Rick Schroder), who's trying to win her back, Black Cloud goes off on his own -- which leads to a revelation about his bloodline and a decision to take the scout's offer.

Many cliches and borrowed substitutes for creativity.

2/5

In drawing on hackneyed plot devices from both sports movies and films about Native Americans, Schroder essentially has created an extended version of Walker, Texas Ranger without the intellectual dialogue or, sadly, Chuck Norris.

An engaging and entertaining story about a young Navajo burdened by demons about his single white ancestor, and has a chip on his shoulder

3/5

If he can refine his writing and keep his heart in the right place, Schroder's next movie might offer the impact that 'Black Cloud' is missing.

A determinedly old-fashioned boxing/ coming-of -age film, only perfunctorily hitting its marks.
