Review of The River Wild (1994) by Lisa Michelle A — 18 Jan 2010
Now this is one great film, and one of Meryl Streep's best to date. I've loved this film for about 6 years now. It has action, suspense, drama, everything you could want. Kevin Bacon does a fine job as Wade, really menacing. Joseph Mazzello as young Roarke is a good little actor, a little snappy at times and too trusting of Wade, but still good. When they finally go down the river towards the end of the film it's one ride you'll never forget!!! I love it!!!
The best line (to me):
Policeman: "What happened?".
Roarke: "My mom got us down the river.".
Policeman: "How about your dad? What did he do?".
Roarke: "He saved our lives.".
