Title: A River Moves Faster.......
Review: Beautifully photographed, great music score, sucky movie. It's a 15 minute story dragged into, what? a movie that's over 2 hours or only SEEMS that long!I found the pastor father reprehensible, stuffing HIS beliefs down his son's throats before they were old enough to decide about religion for themselves. He was just a small-town fish trying to be something bigger, basically on a power-trip. The oldest son was not strong enough or independently smart enough to fight him, but the younger son rebelled in that way preacher's kids always do: Major sinning! And boy, did this movie need some sin so you wouldnt fall asleep!Redford's one of the best directors around, heavy and fantastic on his visuals, but he needs the right material. He even photographed Pitt in ways that remind you of a younger Redford. Hmmm.......As boring as fishing is (basically like watching paint dry!), I welcomed the fishing scenes as it meant there was some ACTION!!
Is the review positive or negative?
