merklekranz Review of The Crimson Rivers

The Crimson Rivers (2000)

Something about good genes ( not the Levi's kind) ........

[6/10 · 9 December 2009]

The movie works for the most part, but gets progressively less coherent as it goes along. Certainly the mountain setting is perfect, and the acting totally acceptable. There is good chemistry between Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel. The action sequences are also quite good. The problems with the film are two fold. The English dubbing in places is only marginally understandable, and the story doesn't flow so that you are able to comprehend what is taking place on the screen. I don't know? Perhaps something is being lost in the translation, but to me, "The Crimson Rivers" is somewhat flawed, but watchable. Just my opinion. - MERK
