Review of The River Within (2009) by Jack — 22 Jan 2010
While this movie suffers somewhat from budget issues (occasional sound glitch, a couple of rough transitions, an obviously non-professional supporting cast), it is one of the better, and possibly the best Faith-based film I have seen in a long time. The story line was well developed and has a fantastic payoff and was not at all cheesy (a rarity for the genre). The cinematography is at times wonderful. The lead actors are solid. And the music was pretty good, too.
The message challenges the church to be more transparent and attentive to those within their sphere of influence (which I found to be very relevant), and it is delivered in such a way that both convicts and uplifts the viewer.
Definitely worth the watch- especially if you are looking for something that is family friendly.
