Skins is a 2002 crime film directed by Chris Eyre, based on the novel of the same name by Adrian C. Louis.The film is set on the fictional Beaver Creek Indian Reservation in South Dakota near the Nebraska border, a place very much like the actual Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, the setting in the book and the place where the film was actually shot. Lakota Sioux tribal police officer Rudy Yellow Lodge (Eric Schweig) struggles to rescue his older, alcoholic brother, Mogie (Graham Greene), a former football star who was wounded in combat three times in Vietnam.No relation to Skins (2017), a film about deformed people in love. | |

Neglected Rez | |
Skins / int_9355d0f3 | comment |
Neglected Rez: Beaver Creek Indian Reservation for the Lakota Sioux people is depicted as being a poor place with little going for it. Rudy, a tribal police officer struggles to help the town, as well as his brother Mogie, an alcoholic single father to a teenaged boy. At one point, Rudy goes berserk on a liquor store the next town over because it's explicitly profiting off of alcoholic residents from the reserve. | |

Nice Guy | |
Skins / int_c5249b29 | comment |
Nice Guy: Herbie. Seriously, not many people have the patience to deal with an alcoholic parent or be openly affectionate towards them. He also turns out to be a very healthy and decent guy. | |

Skins / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: While investigating an abandoned house Rudy finds a boy that’s been kicked to death. The killers manage to escape and all Rudy has to go on to identify the killers is green shoelaces. But stroke of sheer luck he bumps into the killers, specifically the owner of the green shoelaces. Already outraged that the murder of the boy was going to be left unsolved, Rudy takes it upon himself to deliver the justice-by scaring the living daylights out of the two boy and destroying their kneecaps with a bat. | |
