I am related to one of the victim and from what I read of the trial depositions, a lot of this was true: some refused to go on the trip until they were told they could fish instead of raft, the release wasn't distributed until on the private plane to the site, the agency head discouraged or refused (depending on your perspective) the guide using a second boat to avoid mingling with another group, several on the trip grumbled concerns when they saw they were all going in one boat but due to peer ...

Think Citizen Kane on the river. Solid acting but the whitewater stunts are not the run of the mill Hollywood. Those guys led by Bryan "River Dog" Koelzer, who sat in the middle of the raft without a paddle, really make this movie special.

This work relates, speaking in broad terms, a narrative (based upon a true story) of a group of executives that is pressured into taking part in a whitewater raft trip, during which an unfortunate incident occurs. A subsequent lawsuit which addresses the incident completes a good portion of the film. The entire production wants nothing, as all involved perform at a high level. The scenario, by Michael Butler, is stripped neatly to its essence, and immediately engages the viewer with its combination of ... Read More
