A not uninteresting experiment in period noir filmed in black and white, Allen Blumberg's "Ghosts of the Heartland" resembles an Allied Artists programmer of the 1950s -- with 21st-century attitudes on racial issues.
An Asian-American reporter (Phil Moon) returns to his hometown to tend to his dying father. He discovers his old nemesis, the editor of the local paper (Michael Santoro) who has also become the mayor, is involved in a plot to exploit the Native American community.
Except for Santoro, the acting and the movie itself lack much of a sense of urgency.
