River Road

Fairly realistic if a bit sanitary ride through an addition relationship. The main characters are flawed but likeable, the other characters a bit goofy but entertaining.

So cool to see Canada and Vancouver / Delta as the setting in the film. The characters were really well developed. Also, the twist! So good. I usually see what's coming next in most films, but not in this one. It's a must watch, for the story line, music, scenery and characters.

River road has everything you want in a good indie film. A strong script, compelling lead characters, creative editing / camera work you don't typically see in big budget films, and twist that you don't see coming. My favorite part of the movie is the editing style. The editor cuts between scenes seamlessly while still keeping a cohesive story flowing. The cinematography fits perfect for the drug and rock star lifestyle. At one point you can literally imagine what it must feel like to be high on drugs with the characters and then how low it must feel to quickly crash into a dark low lit room. The film takes a twist near the end that makes the last act of the movie feel fresh with new energy. Just when you start to think you know where it's going the movie turns and now it's an action film. Great job by everyone involved and you should definitely watch the film.

Fairly realistic movie about the roller coaster ride of junkie life until the ending where it becomes pretty unrealistic and comes off the rails definitely worth a watch though.

This was clearly done on a budget, having said that the script and the acting was rather good; the editing an the final scene was a little bodged ... I enjoyed the mix of characters and the narration.
