River Runs Red

The trailer makes this movie look good, but it's a mess from the beginning. Horrible acting on everyone's part, even the veteran actors. The action scenes are laughable. It's just a joke. Don't waste your time.

Such a wasted opportunity. I understand it would be difficult to put a film together that is balanced but something went horribly wrong with all aspects of this production. Everything is, or rather feels clunky, fumbled, warped soap with incompatible elements clashing together in clusters. Terribly made film, so bad it's beyond parody or it's so bad it's good type attraction. One bit music video, student film, and oh...forget it.

This movie is terrible! Awful acting, rubbish plot, crap music. Don't waste your life! It is actually funny how bad it is.

This is really bad. The script is pathetic but the cardboard actors make it worse. Everything about this movie is cringeworthy. No excuse!

Stilted acting, uninspiring dialogue and laughable cinematography are some of the best things about this film.

I'm all for using film to highlight social issues and when done respectfully can make for truly memorable cinema. When this is rushed, under funded and poorly cast you end up with a film such as this.

Sadly memorable only for it's short comings, 'River Runs Red' is at best laughable at worst unforgettable, but hey if you've nothing better to do with your evening give it a watch you may well answer the question "what would Ed Wood be doing now if he was a contemporary black / writer director?"
