Green River (2008)

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being Spielberg and 1 being a monkey throwing feces) I gladly rate this movie lower than 1. I collect low budget indie movies and can sit through pretty much anything, and every single time I think I've seen the worst, another comes along that tops it (or bottoms it in this case). No plot spoiling here because there is no plot. What you do have is 2 actresses who thought it would be a good idea to cut their teeth in the B movie world before moving onto bigger and better things. Only problem is, bigger and better for these two will mean working at an In-N-Out Burger joint for the rest of their lives because acting is now out of the question. In fact, I demand they reimburse me the 4 bucks I wasted on this movie..if you could call it that. I call it BS !!

The first thing the viewer will note is the sound ... voices are tough to discern but the sound effects are loud & clear. Then you realize that many opening scenes are shot through windows obstructing your view of the actors.These are the first indications something is wrong with this movie. Before ever getting to the acting you have to ask why the creators of this train wreck could possibly drop the ball on such a simple plot - a terrifying trip back to nature. What is the back story or context? What motivates these actors? What is supposed to scare the viewer?None of these questions are answered. The viewer enjoys a healthy helping of suck by the actors and everyone else who touched this horrible, horrible film. The truly horrifying question this film truly asks is, what did the movie industry ever do to deserve this?

Okay, this pile of garbage has to be the worst thing I've ever seen, and I've seen some bad movies. The plot includes story lines that go nowhere, including the ghost voices in the woods... what was that all about?? And why did the annoying brunette go crazy? The brunette was by far the worst actor I've ever seen. Lines like "what's the matter Jackie boy, truth hurt" combined with bad delivery are the only things in this movie that actually made me cringe. I've seen better acting in high school. And to the two earlier posters who said this movie was amazing, I hope you didn't spend too much money producing this film, it sucks! Destroy this movie so no one else will waste an hour and a half of their life.

I saw Green River over the weekend. One of my nieces had ordered it and it came in the mail.I'll admit I actually watched it twice over the weekend and I saw more the second time seeing it than I did the first especially the lurker Walker. Before returning it, I wanted to look up the actresses and the film online to see what else they have been in. Director Taybi I thank you for this compelling film.There are some great moves and shadows that Green River showed that did make it interesting, to some it might seem weird. I liked the location and seeing these two deep in the woods with that red car. I might have liked to learn more about the friends and the sister Grace story. I got some of that on the mountain. I did like Green River, I was entertained and heck I'm no spring chicken I was shocked at what Allison did. I don't want to spoil it but the other men here at my house believed Allison was out of her mind in more ways than we've seen on screen in a long time and usually with mean men so this was a twist from a girl in a convertible. I have seen people like her unravel, but not to that powerful intensity.The other actors, The local Green River people were natural. I believed that I would see them on that winding road if I had the guts to travel to Green River. Allison's friend was Charisma very sweet, I felt bad she had no parents, no sister and had to bring Allison with her. I thought Allison was going to get her in the woods too. There's a lot of violence you don't see in the end but you feel and I know my wife was cringing at that and the noises in the cabin. But We had a good laugh at that the next day and talked about the ending after I saw it the second time. If you don't pay attention here you might miss a lot like the shoveling. (Don't want to write too much more I was told people go here before renting) so just have fun, pay attention to the subtle things and be careful in Green River.
