In post WWI Oklahoma, the Osage Indian community inherits a fortune from the discovery of oil on their land, but many are secretly murdered by the corruptible forces of law and order, until eventually the newly formed federal Bureau of Investigation steps in.
Long but engrossing historical racism drama on an epic canvas with almost faultless period detail and some absorbingly manipulative performances. The younger Scorsese would have elaborated much less to provide a much sharper film: here, he (and De Niro) are in much more measured, thoughtful mood.
