I rented this movie primarily because of the title. I wanted my son, who is in a nursing home, to see an "action picture." It is that, but "Cheyenne Warrior" is so much more. Like a great book you are reading, you hate for it to end.
The actors: Frankly I had never heard of Pato Hoffman and Kelly Preston before this movie. Preston grew on me. At first I thought of her as a wimpy, spoiled women. I finally realized her acting was so strong that I missed the whole point she was making. Later, I found her to be one of the most desirable women I have ever seen on the screen. She is so much more alluring (want to say desirable) than Monroe ever was. As for Hoffman: What a man! He can "say" more with a look than a thousand pages of dialog. What an actor!
The love story: I wanted the story to go on and on--you are left with a desire for more. Yet, it had to end. Their liaison was doomed from the start--each carried too much of their own cultures to make it together.
Back to the action: The scenes where there is what we used to call "gun play" were exceedingly well done. Above that, unless you knew about the Henry rifle, you could not fully appreciated what a great weapon the Henry was. If the South had about 10,000 Henrys, the whole history of the United States would likely have been much different. Or if Custer's men had the Henry, that story could have ended differently.
It is rather trite to say, but "DON'T MISS THIS ONE."
