Green River (2008)

Best movie ever!

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Look if there's one thing I know it's that people are nuts. I don't want to give anything away so I'll keep this short. This movie is not as bad as the reviews I've been reading about it. The subject may not be for everyone, but it does a decent job of portraying something that makes some people uncomfortable. The film portrays something that could actually happen so maybe it's too scary for some people. This is not a glitz and glamour special effects enhanced movie. It's carried by the actors ability to convince you of whether they're capable of their roles.

The first thing the viewer will note is the sound ... voices are tough to discern but the sound effects are loud & clear. Then you realize that many opening scenes are shot through windows obstructing your view of the actors.These are the first indications something is wrong with this movie. Before ever getting to the acting you have to ask why the creators of this train wreck could possibly drop the ball on such a simple plot - a terrifying trip back to nature. What is the back story or context? What motivates these actors? What is supposed to scare the viewer?None of these questions are answered. The viewer enjoys a healthy helping of suck by the actors and everyone else who touched this horrible, horrible film. The truly horrifying question this film truly asks is, what did the movie industry ever do to deserve this?

I opened my account at IMDb just to be able to post that this movie is the worst "shirt" ever made. Most of you must be aware Im using the word "shirt" to avoid censorship. Just remove the extra "r" PLEASE Don't WATCH THIS MOVIE...unless you want to torture yourself and spend part of you life when you could have been doing something else, like sleep or take a bath or have a picture of you own ass and watch it instead of this movie... anything else is more productive that watching this piece of "shirt". The worst thing is that i rented the movie and forgot to return it on date, and now have to pay Blockbuster a fine... Now I realized i have to write at least ten lines for the review, so I must say that Every single copy of this movie should be collected and burned for the sake of humanity. The director should have keep doing electrical works instead of trying to make movies. I must have a big sin to pay, thats why I choose this movie. Now Im paying all my debts with God. Please forgive all my bad actions, but don't ever let me watch this kind of movie again. Many years ago I watched "The Mosquito Coast" I thought it was a bad movie... how wrong I was,,, didn't knew that human minds can produce things like Green River..human can always get worse.thanks

... and that's saying a lot because I pride myself on my ability to sit through horrible movies.Its bizarre, holey plot, strange & unsympathetic characters with baffling movies and sudden, anti-climatic climax make this painfully amateurish flick a burden to watch.Granted, I was easily distracted so when I look up and suddenly this movie that has failed to grab me suddenly includes one of the main characters going bat sh*t and torturing some old dude who was barely introduced into the story... yea... I was puzzled, but instead of suddenly being drawn into the story and wondering where all this out-of-the-blue tension & murderous rage came from... I'm bored.I only watched this movie to the end because I *PAID* for it... if it was on TV, I wouldn't have kept it on for five minutes... the only absolute LIE that drew me in was the back cover compared it to "Silent Hill"... this movie is not fit to scrape gum off Silent Hill's SHOE.Avoid if at all possible.
