The White River Kid Audience Reviews

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
TrueHello 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.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
kiddhowe The White River Kid is an enjoyable movie. It is not an edge of the seat or nail biter, but the story is engaging. Bob Hoskins as Brother Edgar draws you into the story and as he begins to be interested in the other members of this story so do you. Antonio Bandaras brings a certain charm and sympathy to a character with less admirable ambitions. I would comment on each actors role but instead I will say that each one took hold of the character they played and caused you to see each one in an interesting way. I was particularly fond of Miss Eva Nell (Ellen Barkin) and Randy Travis as Sheriff Becker. All in all I really liked this movie.
BloodTheTelepathicDog From the beginning, this film has a feel of a pseudo Coen Brothers flick, rich with eccentric characters and southern appeal. But the writing fails to deliver the same wit as Ethan and Joel.Bob Hoskins owns this film, with support from an over the top Antonio Banderas. Wes Bentley and Kim Dickens were truly horrible in their roles. Neither brought any emotion or depth to their characters, strictly playing their roles blandly.In the proper hands, this could have been on the same playing field as Raising Arizona, but the scriptwriting failed to take advantage of the eccentric southern setting, and Bently and Dickens just destroyed any decent feelings I had for this film.All that being said, it is a decent rent. Bob Hoskins shines, overshadowing Antonio and Swoosie Kurtz was riot as an Elvis obsessed yokel, but the writing just missed one opportunity after the other.
bryanthomas It is quirky, yes, but I enjoyed it's offbeat sense of humor and unique storytelling. The characters were wacky, and so was the story, but I liked it. So it's not a total waste of time despite the other person's feelings. For some people anyway. I watched it because Wes Bentley and I worked together recently, and I am glad I did.
Richard-87 Startz finally released this turkey on American television tonight. This film is a waste of good talented actors. Bob Hoskins seems lost in the film as a fake monk. In fact, I could not believe that in one scene he was dancing what is called the Texas Dance in his monk robes in an Arkansas dance hall.The movie is a series of road vinettes that really don't make much sense. I wonder if these actors got paid for the roles. Antonio Banderos was listed as the producer. What got into him. Swoosie Kurtz a good actress was awful in her Presley hair do. No wonder this did not get a theater release.
