Reviews


75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Nathalie Atkinson
In a demanding role light on dialogue, Sutherland’s rangy, loping physicality serves both the character and the action well – camera and fugitive are seldom at rest, and on the move in tense, extended bursts whenever an opportunity presents itself.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Harry Windsor
River ends with relief, followed by a reversal that’s the last thing you expect from this unvarnished, unsentimental tale of self-preservation: an act of quietly powerful heroism.
60
Total Film - Kevin Harley
Dagg keeps things simple, but his jogging camera whips up the urgency and he’s well-served by Sutherland’s rangy physicality.
50
Variety - Ben Kenigsberg
Dagg’s thriller is slow to get going and hampered by an inexpressive leading man.
40
CineVue - Unnamed
Whilst Sutherland gives an impressive and powerful performance as an American on the run, the lack of substance and originality leaves you feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
