DVD Verdict: In this action-packed movie, a concerned grandfather gives his troubled grandson one last shot at redemption in director William Katt's sensitive tale of survival in the wilderness. The classic story of a rebellious youth put back on the right path by a wise elder and a wilderness quest, 'River's End' spins the tale of hardship, danger and stark beauty of life on the river.

Clay Watkins (Sam Huntington, "Fanboys," "Superman Returns"), an angry teenager haunted by the death of his father, has moved to the small town where his grandfather, Buster Watkins (Barry Corbin, "Northern Exposure"), is sheriff. Angry and struggling, Clay just can't seem to stay out of trouble. Buster sets up a roadblock on Clay's collision course with the law by presenting him with a choice: successfully navigate by canoe a 60-mile stretch of the rugged and perilous Pecos River or go to jail.

Through the hardship, danger and stark beauty of life on the river, Clay confronts the fear and grief at the root of his anger and learns a few things about being a good man. People have compared the film to a Disney classic and you can see those elements en mass throughout this film. The cast also includes Caroline Goodall ("Schindler's List") as widow Sarah Watkins, Clay's distraught mother; Charles Durning ("The Sting," "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"); and Clint Howard ("Cinderella Man," "My Dog Skip"). Come the end, 'River's End' is a great film for parents, grandparents and teenagers alike. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs but comes with no Special Features.
