Bruce M @BruceMc Jul 10 A relentlessly stupid and bad movie starring the always-reliably-bad Ray Liotta. Christian Slater chews up the scenery, script and direction are idiotic. Truly worthless. See more Sally P @RT03419115 04/19/2025 I really enjoyed this movie is it because I'm a fan of Ray either way it had me in grossed in finding out who the killer was . I think certainly worth watching . Super sad Rays not around to do more movies 😭 See more Julie L @RT35757011 12/01/2024 A pretty good cast but the acting makes me question if they just needed the money so threw this together. And why would the killer think to put the cork back in the bottle as he’s about to kill someone. Cringe See more Darla P @RT09595150 01/28/2024 This movie was awful. I've always been a fan of Ray Liota but this was definitely not his best work. See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic 03/29/2023 A very straight forward detective movie and having the late great Ray Liotta is always a plus. See more 11/18/2021 What do I think about The River Murders?
