Pick of the week
Untamed
“Christ, here comes Gary Cooper,” exclaims one detective when Kyle Turner arrives at a crime scene on his horse. Turner (Eric Bana) is a difficult man – he’s a special agent whose job is to enforce the law in the vast wilderness of Yosemite National Park. He’s also blunt, rude and the kind of sad solo drinker who calls his ex-wife at 2.30am. When a woman dies after plunging from a cliff, his colleagues are keen to write it off as suicide. But Turner suspects that isn’t the whole story. Will his boss Paul Souter (Sam Neill) and his new partner from LA Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago) put up with him long enough to find out? A slow-burner but gripping too. Phil Harrison
