an interesting Western, 20 July 2005
5/10
Author: jmgalvan-1 from United States

Originally intended for Ron Howard and John Wayne years ago, but instead ended up starring Rick Schroeder and Wilford Brimley several years after John Wayne's death, which was the reason why he and Ron Howard never made it. This Western is pretty neat, entertaining, acting is acceptable, plot believable, and lots of action. Although, if you ask me, they could've changed the music, which appears to always been the same throughout the entire movie. I mean even when the bad guy's brought down, it does seem a little too simple to suit the scene. Blood River is a fun Western, nothing compared to others, but still entertaining.
