3 and 3/4's. Pretty good. I'm not really on board with alot of French films, but this was rather enjoyabe. EXCEPT...they threw in some strange fight scene, with an even stranger video game sound effect voice over. MINUS half a point for that lame move....otherwise, pretty decent ... read more
It's the Silence of the Lambs meets Seven. A first-rate edge of your seat thriller. Spine-tingling, heart-racing and nerve-frying. Chilling and unforgettable. A breathtaking thrill-ride. Tension and suspense in unbearable doses that will blow you away all the way to the explosive... read more
Interesting, kinda grisly drama about two detectives solving two seemingly unrelated cases in France. Jean Reno and vincent Cassell are two great actors, so that's what drew me into this film. Has a good pace and, although I got a little bit lost I quickly caught up and really en... read more
This is a very nice Mini Series. Jean Reno is a very Random Actor I can count on in any of his Movies or mini Series that he wont dissapoint me!
Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel deliver solid performances in this intellegent, witty French murder-mystery. Well scripted and nicely scored.
Awesome, awesome, awesome, That?s what I call this film. Its in French with English Subtitles, also has a English dub which if used takes away from the film. The combination of Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel is Explosive on Screen . As far as the other actors, what other actors, t... read more
What can I say? Today was a crime drama type of day, another interesting story...though set many years later...and a different contribuition to french cinema. Intriguing story, and suspicious characters always leads to an interesting conclusion. Too bad I watched the dubbed versi... read more
Well, I've been surprising by this French movie.. It's been a great detective movie... Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel did a pretty good job in here... And the idea of the story that making this two detective goes alone first then joined in the middle of the movie, just great.. Just... read more
This French speaking, English sub-titled film, was a refreshing enjoyable watch with superb performances by Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel.
The only bad for me is that I don't think it will reach the desired audience purely because of the sub-titles which is a shame.
Could teach many an American thriller a thing or two about sophisticated creepiness.
It ends up being more about stage blood and stupid plot tricks.
By movie's end, you'd swear you were on Hollywood Boulevard, with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon 11.
Some actors are just automatically the moral locus of every scene they're in. They're the major movie stars, and Reno is one of those. Full Review
The digressions and diversions eventually overwhelm the narrative. Full Review
The tissue-thin script adaptation ... grows more ridiculous by the minute.
A lot of The Crimson Rivers is slick, quasi-menacing fun.
