Review of The Crimson Rivers (2000) by Tim M — 20 Sep 2011
Police commisioner Pierre Niemans (Jean Reno) is called to investigate a brutal murder in the town called Guernon. At the same time a young lieutenant Max Kerkerian (Vincent Cassel) starts to investigate a grave desecration in a town called Sarzac. As their cases start to intertwine together, the seasoned legend and the young hot-head must work together to unravel the mystery behind the murders & crimes.
"Les Rivières pourpres" is quality thriller, which I've seen many times and still it remains great. Jean Reno & Vincent Cassel are both great but the real showstealer is the awesome mountain terrain where they shot the movie. The director Mathieu Kassowitz is also a known actor and it's a shame that his attempts in Hollywood weren't so great ("Gothika" wasn't so good).
Bottomline: "Les Rivières pourpres" is very good thriller even though the ending is a little rushed. The sequel is good too by the way.
