Review of The River

The River (2012)
6/10
Not great, not horrible
14 February 2012
First off, WHO CARES if they speak Portuguese or Spanish???? Nobody in Brazil speaks Spanish? That's weird, because I'm betting I could find someone in Brazil who speaks Spanish. Maybe they migrated there? Let it go. Second, holy shat, a show wasn't filmed in the location that it's set in? Stop the presses!!! Huge Hollywood headline, THEY DON'T SHOOT EVERYTHING ON LOCATION!!!??? If those are the two things that made you dislike this show, then it must be pretty good. And if you can't get over that, I can say that you must not enjoy much in the way of TV or movies.

For those of you wondering about this show, my Watchlist consists of like 1700 shows and movies and this is neither outstanding nor the worst thing on earth, like some would have you believe. The camera work isn't all herky jerky, but I can see how it would be annoying at times. If you're looking for something slightly different, I.e. not CSI, with a little mystery involved then this is worth checking out. Plus, Bruce Greenwood is always good and it will definitely make you wonder what the heck is going on.

All in all, I will give this show a chance ondemand, but I'm certainly not setting aside time to view.
