The characters in this film make some of the dumbest decisions, and the main motivation for the "villain" really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Also for a film about rafting it doesn't have very many intense rafting scenes like the 94' film has. The storyline doesn't make a whole lot of sense and isn't written well at all. Plus the movie just ends abruptly. The River Wild from 1994 is a much better film, and I just recommend watching that instead if you have never seen it. The new film is supposed to be inspired from it and not actually a remake, but it does take certain plot points from it. The original plot though is so much better in every way.

Just don't watch it. 92 minutes of my life I will never get back. I should have read the reviews, it is not a remake. It has literally no point. Worst movie I have ever seen, not even being dramatic. Beyond stupid. If you want to watch a movie about rapids and a villain just watch the original. Someone should sue them for even using a similar name to the original, it's that bad. This is a million percent the wish version of river wild. Literally watch anything else. Paint dry, concrete harden, the movie Lock (kidding don't watch that either.) Traffic is ok and these people have zero sense of survival.

Before watching it, I received mixed reviews which is why I ultimately decided to watch it to formulate my own opinion. This movie is very bad. It has an ample amount of unnecessary "suspense" and its so dramatic for little to no reason. It has various moments that leaves the viewers questioning "why didn't you do this instead?"... you know, LOGICAL THINKING. I'm beyond aware that this is a movie but movies shouldn't still be THIS bad in 2023. The best part was that it's only 90mins instead of 120mins. I'm convinced that the only people who actually enjoy this movie, think like the people in the movie.

The movie is fine, a little overly dramatic, but altogether a fine watch when there's nothing else to watch. I did wonder if the actors and filmmaker were friends because there are a lot of connections between actors. But the thing I'm taking umbrage with is the number of people on here trying to say this isn't a remake. It IS a remake in the actual sense. The end credits specifically say: Based on the film "The River Wild" written by Denis O'Niell. So, even though it's been rewritten and all, it's factually a remake. And AS a remake, it's actually quite good in that they took a story and recreated the dynamics but still deliver on the same dread as with the original. Similar to the 2022 Wrong Turn remake.

This is one of those 'why are the captives so stupid?' movies. The kind of film where any six-year-old would have behaved smarter than the three hostages. It's impossible to believe that even 20sometings could be as dumb...make that clueless...as the sort of good guys are in River Wild. Oh, and it's yet another film where an assailant fires a ten round magazine at least 20 times without reloading. And there's no indication of where he got a spare magazine either. But that's the least of the flaws in this thing. These people can't even use rocks! I can sum this mess up in one word: exasperating. Gave it a two for the scenery and overhead shots. This is one stupid movie.

Storyline is so bad. A bunch of helpless/dumb women, just to make it interesting. So many scenes could have gone way better if the women would have stepped up. Over the damsel in destress turned hero because of her our stupidity. I get it, gotta make a "movie". They use the women to create the problems that then they have to solve, not a good look. It starts out really well but then becomes so disappointing in one scene, I had to walk away out of frustration. There's action, sure. But the Barbie movie is more female empowering so might as well just watch that. The movie is still on and it's just getting worse, love Adam Brody and Leighton Meister, but yikes!!
