Smoke Signals - movie analysis

SMOKE SIGNALS This movie has all the necessary ingredients of a classic road movie, the long trip that turns into as much of a philosophical journey as a physical one, the oddball characters encountered along the way, and the everything-will-be-alright ending.

…Signals is that it was a decent movie. It is not a film I would normally have rented, let alone pay $7.00 to see in a theater.
