She plays a suburban mom and former white-water rafting guide who is taking her family on a raft trip for summer vacation. But overworked Dad (David Strathairn) can't make the trip, so she and her son leave without him--and walk right into trouble. Killers on the run (Kevin Bacon, John C. Reilly) abduct them and force Streep to take them down the most dangerous stretch of river to elude the cops. Hanson understands how to pace and construct this kind of action fodder, but it's strictly formula stuff, enlivened only by the depth of Streep's portrayal and the viciousness of Bacon's character. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - the river wildfantastic, great condition and price. quick delivery and great movie. recommend them to anyone purchasing a product. i will certaintly be looking for them in future purchases. Rating: - The river is your heroic allyA beautiful film about the Colorado River. The hero is the river and the nature it crosses, the gorges and the rapids and the falls.

Then the film sets a plot on that river of a nice vacationing family held hostage by the surviving thieves of a cattle auction robbery who try to escape the police after the robbery by using the river and the expertise of the mother of this family. This adds some family tension with a father who is working ... Read More Rating: - The River Wild: A movie worth watching!!!I saw this movie a year or two ago and wanted to watch it again and again.

Read More Rating:  - White Water Rafting Thrills With Streep And BaconThe opening scenes of THE RIVER WILD show a very buff Meryl Streep rowing in Boston's Charles River accompanied by stirring theme music by Jerry Goldsmith. This promise of quality is fulfilled throughout the suspenseful albeit rather predictable movie after the setting switches to the western wilderness. Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon are among Hollywood's most talented and versatile actors and in this outing Streep believably plays a mom who meets extreme physical and emotional challenges (while piloting ... Read More Rating: - Streep and Bacon make this River Wild,not the plot!Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon put the "wild" in Curtis Hanson's 'The River Wild".The plot is terribly formulaic,but it is the depth of the acting that takes this fodder and turns it into something exciting and nail-biting.Streep and Bacon go head to head down the river gorge locking wits and butting brains with enough action/adventure shots and a riveting Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack to keep one's attention and heart racing.This film is to be enjoyed for it's outstanding cinematography,smart editing, but not ...
