Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

pi1e I was never much of a fan of Ray Liotta, except maybe for The Goodfellas,and he proves me right in this movie. The actress playing his wife is struggling with English and with acting (no, she's not the next SoniaBraga, I'm sorry to say). Christian Slater does his usual crazy. Nothing suspenseful, nothing thrilling and no drama (though they do try, so eagerly, in every shot) about this. This was free on-demand, so I'm happy I didn't have to pay for it. Don't let the others fool you, this movie is not worth your time. The writing is horrible, the dialogue is childish, the plot is stupid, the "twist" is easily figured out, the acting is horrible - it is murder-by-numbers with all the clichés you can throw in, mixed up and then spilled out for you viewing "pleasure". Stay away!

Bob_the_Hobo Ray Liotta plays Jack Verdon, a Seattle cop investigating a string of brutal murders, with all the targets being women he's slept with in the past. Immediately a suspect, Jack has to tangle with FBI Agent Vuckovitch (Slater) work outside his job to catch the killer.The script seems fairly straight-forward but it has a very compelling religious aspect that comes in when we meet the killer. I'm not spoiling anything by saying that we meet the killer fairly early on. His character is written in a way that kept me interested as to his intentions. I had a hard time believing Liotta's character would remember all the "100's" of women he'd slept with, but whatever. Verdon and the killer are definitely the strongest characters, though, with the Vuckovitch character being a constant strain.Liotta, Slater, and Ving Rhames are the bankable stars advertised on the cover, but all three men could have switched roles and you would have had the same movie. For instance, if Slater played Verdon, Liotta the Police Captain, and Rhames the FBI Agent, or so on. All three do an adeqaute job, though Slater served more as comic relief than anything else. Liotta's wife is played by the gorgeous Giselle Fraga, whose beauty just about saves her flat acting. Michael Rodrick shows some real potential as the killer, his cold performance stood out from the supporting cast.Cinematography caught the drizzly Washington weather perfectly, though as someone not a Seattle native, I was confused as why it was never really brought to light which river the title alluded to."The River Murders" makes for a nice day off or rainy day mystery movie to watch with some popcorn. I'd recommend it.

katy-247-158113 An original idea in typical crime drama style. Ray Liotta was his usual great acting self. The story certainly kept you wondering until it unfolds. It was based on something I have never seen any other movie even similar. It does keep your interest level up through out the movie. The Horror factor isn't very high making it user friendly to most people. I do like these types of movies and do consider it worth watching. I don't think I would run right out to get it but I would give it a thumbs up. So I would recommend it moderately. Great movies are really hard to find and sometimes you have to settle for these pretty good movies.

holysimon This is the kind of low budget movie offering a mix of seasoned actors, who do a great job with the material and their screen time, and not so seasoned ones who fill in the blanks.Liotta is top notch and Slater is his usual enjoyable self.Michael Rodrick has got game and Sarah Ann Schultz creates a very hot detective.With a handful of surprising twists and few glaring errors, it managed to tell a really interesting story by avoiding the usual pitfalls of guns and sexploitation.This had the look and feeling of those B-movies of the eighties where you could sit in front of the picture and be just captivated by the storytelling and the performance of thespians who don't need big bucks for them to show they can act.A good effort.As for the whiners? Well, 2 species have sprung on IMDb in the last few years: those who like nothing and those who hate everything.As for the rest: you'll probably enjoy the surprises as well as I did.
