Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Better Late Then Never

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

When we hear about TV movies, we usually expect predictable plot lines, strained acting, and numerous holes in the plot, especially with something that airs on Lifetime periodically. Not this film.Stolen Women, Captured Hearts features a strong cast (including Janine Turner, Michael Greyeyes, and Patrick Bergin) whose emotion shines throughout the film. The score is beautiful and the plot is quite enjoyable.While most lifetime dramas focus around family drama in the present day, this film presents the story of two white women captured by Sioux Native Americans in the late 1860s and how one of the captive's emotions are tested by the temptation of her captor.The film features good drama and suspense, as well as the hostility between whites and the natives. Some historical references and even a very important real-life figure are featured in the movie. I was moved by the romance and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I definitely recommend it.

I loved this movie that presented Native American culture and history with respect and understanding. Anna, the character portrayed by Janine Turner, was a woman who learned to adapt in order to survive after being kidnapped by Indians. By adapting, she came to an understanding of Native Americans and respect for individuals. Her relationship with the Indian man showed that people are basically the same in any culture and that individuals can reach across cultural and racial lines to have caring relationships. Anna also learned about the failings of the white race, prejudice toward Indians, and the white man's mistreatment of Indians.I believe this is a story based on fact, especially since General Custer appeared in the story. My great-grandmother, who was born in 1874, was two years of age when Little Big Horn happened. She often told me she heard people discussing Little Big Horn when she was a child. I now have her books about Indians, written in the late 1800s. Earlier generations of my family came to Indiana in the early 1800s and lived with Native Americans. In fact, one rural Baptist church started as a mission to the Potawatomi Indians of northern Indiana.Most Hoosiers know the story of Frances Slocum, a pioneer girl who was kidnapped by Indians and named Maconaquah. When her family found her years later, she had so much adapted to the Indian way of life that she preferred to stay with the Indian tribe and her Indian husband and children. A similar story is "The Searchers," which starred John Wayne and Natalie Wood. However, the character portrayed by the late Miss Wood was young and malleable enough to re-adapt to white society.Because of the common themes in the above movies and incidents, "Stolen Women, Captured Hearts" has a special meaning for me. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Can't tell you how many times I have watched this movie and never seem to tire of it. Michael Greyeyes has always been one of my favorite American Indian actors. He is incredibly talented and easy on the eyes. Would like to know how to find the book or source this was taken from as it appears to be based on a true story. There should be more movies and documentaries covering the true history of American Indians as there is a such a severe lack of education and misinformation. This movie at least shows the injustices our First People have suffered over the years and it's encouraging that it reveals the true side of Custer and all those who supported him in their alarming mission to exterminate American Indians. I highly recommend it for everyone!

Since I saw Dances With Wolves, I have been a sucker for any movie that shows a truer picture of Native Americans. I have to say that I have seen this movie a couple of times (once about a year ago, and it was on TV again last night!) and I've really enjoyed it both times. Living in the UK, I'm not really familiar with American TV actors, but I would definitely like to get more familiar with Michael Greyeyes; what a magnificent looking man!? I thought the love story was genuinely touching (I love anything about soulmates, too!) and I would definitely watch it again!
