Missionary Man is a 2007 American action film co-written, directed by and starring Dolph Lundgren.

A stranger named Ryder (Dolph Lundgren) comes into a small Texas town for the funeral of his good friend J.J., a local Native American carpenter.

Ryder spends his time in town reading the Bible while drinking straight tequila.

Ryder talks to J.J.'s sister Nancy (Kateri Walker) who says that J.J. drowned in a river, but J.J.'s teenage son Junior (John D. Montoya) does not believe that.

Chief Dan (Richard Ray Whitman) announces that Assistant Chief Lance (Titos Menchaca) has suggested that the council still discuss a proposal for the building of a state-of-the-art casino on tribal property by Lance's construction group.

This would bring many new jobs and much revenue for the tribe's people, but the council is concerned with the many negative aspects of it.

J.J. had proposed a plan that offers more highly skilled jobs and training for the tribe's people and takes advantage of gaming profits without the negative aspects.

Kiowa and Junior go to a grocery store, where clerk said that J.J. came in and got a case of beer on the day of his death.

Reno shows up and talks about filing assault charges against Ryder for beating his men up.

Sheriff Acoma finds Reno with his two main henchmen, Murphy and Gomez (Lawrence Varnado).

David Walker of DVD Talk rated it 1/5 stars and called it a "disappointing ripoff" of several better films.

[3] Michael Buening of PopMatters rated it 2/10 stars and wrote, "I don’t blame Lundgren for attempting to forge a professional identity more developed than Ivan Drago, but he fails miserably in this overly self-serious quest for maturity.
