Shadow Wolves is a group of Native American vigilantes led by Nabahe (Graham Greene) who protect the border from smugglers and terrorists. NSA agent Colonel Branson (Thomas Gibson) is running his own unsanctioned dark ops in his fight against ISIS.
This is bad and its greatest sin is that it looks cheap. I am surprised by some of the great actors that participated in this atrocity. McKay Daines seems to be a B-movie filmmaker who has a certain political bent towards the war on terrorism. I don't care about any of that but he has to make this good. It has to be fun and exciting. It has to be a compelling story. This is simply not.

Plot summary
Colonel Branson (Thomas Gibson),head of a secret and covert division of the NSA, keeps the Shadow Wolves operating albeit now independent and rogue. His anger after his daughter was killed in Afghanistan training civilians drives him to defend "his" America and her borders by all means legal or otherwise. When ISIS terrorists begin to sneak across the US Border into Arizona, Branson alerts the Shadow Wolves to track and stop them. Branson sends Eric Shaw (Cody Walker),his most deadly and effective agent, to join up with the Shadow Wolves. The Wolves are led by Nabahe (Graham Greene),a Navajo honored military veteran, and an old colleague of Branson's. At the same time in London Lady Milton-Simon (Louise Lombard),head of an MI6 anti-terrorist division, sends out her elite agent, Major McLaren (Tom Hutch),to track a terrorist named Khan (Solomon Shiv) who has a personal vendetta against the US and the Shadow Wolves. Lady Milton and McLaren learn Khan is heading to Mexico to be smuggled into the US by drug cartels. Lady Simon sends another operative Zora (Sibongile Mlambo) to shadow McLaren. Shaw heads to Arizona to work with Nabahe and his wolves, a group of young, tough Native Americans (Amara Zaragoza, Kiowa Gordon, Andrew Gray),who use high tech and ancient tracking methods to stop drug and human trafficking, and now potential terrorists . The best covert agents the NSA has to offer, along with terrorist specialists at MI6 in London, join together to work with the Shadow Wolves to track, find and neutralize the threat to the United States. If they miss their target, Khan will enter the US to join his sleeper ISIS terrorist cells and seek his revenge by killing tens of thousands.

What's going on?
SHADOW WOLVES is a Z-grade action flick that suffers from being extremely badly directed and poorly written to boot. It's a low budget low-fi adventure in which a bunch of Navajo soldiers battle terrorist groups, tangling with various ISIS terrorists bent on mayhem. A couple of British characters randomly show up to join in the fun. Other than the novelty of seeing an unrecognisable Louise Lombard (the last time I saw her was in THE HOUSE OF ELIOT) who looks amazing for her age, and the impossibly aged Graham Greene of DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE fame, there's really no reason to tune in to this one.
Shadow Wolves
The film centers on an elite force of Native American Shadow Wolves operatives and the story of their work with a CIA agent to prevent an impending terrorist attack
The story is a bit refreshing, as it's loosely based on the real-life Shadow Wolves, but the tacky dialogues, boring under-developed characters, and rather bland performances aren't enough to redeem it. The action sequences are poorly staged, and could use some good editing and steady camera work. The score is not memorable as you could hardly notice it, But the cinematography in some places is good; the lighting and color grading gives the scenes the right mood and atmosphere.
Overall, Shadow Wolves is a poor film with a good concept, but clumsily executed.
