River Queen Reviews

An average movie

Posted : 13 years, 5 months ago on 10 December 2010 07:44

Basically, there was a time when I would go to a video game shop (which is now closed) and I would buy there on a regular basis 5 DVDs for 5 euros and, sometimes, since I would be missing 1 DVD, I would pick up pretty much anything at random just to reach 5 movies. Anyway, following this amazing process, I ended up watching some rather obscure movies and this one was definitely one of them. Eventually, I thought it was not bad at all and I especially enjoyed the historical and cultural background which were very interesting. Furthermore, the performances were pretty good as well, Samantha Morton is definitely one of the most underrated actresses I know but, to be honest, even though it was rather unexpected to see Kiefer Sutherland in a production like this one, I’m not sure he really belonged here but at least, he did try. Unfortunately, the story was sometimes rather murky and the whole thing didn't seem to really know where to go. It's too bad because it had some potential. Still, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, I thought it was a decent watch and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
