The CinePearl Take
Curtis Hanson balances breathtaking river choreography with tight, character‑driven tension, letting the natural scenery become a silent antagonist. Kevin Bacon’s menacing performance is a standout, turning a simple robbery plot into a relentless cat‑and‑mouse game. The pacing never lets you breathe, and the film’s underlying commentary on trust and resilience keeps it resonant long after the final splash.
