Joey (Leighton Meester) fears there could be trouble ahead after her brother Gray (Taran Killam) invites Trevor (Adam Brody), a childhood friend with a troubled past, on their whitewater rafting adventure with two tourists. Once they become stranded in raging rapids, the thrill-seeking trip quickly turns from exciting to utterly terrifying as the rafters are trapped in a desperate fight for their lives, all while someone seems intent on sabotage to ensure shocking secrets stay buried. To survive the wild river, Joey will have to face her fears, and everyone will have to develop killer instincts before they’re torn apart by deception aboard the raft, or by deadly waters wreaking havoc all around them.

It's okay besides one moment that just made me hate this movie. When girls are getting themself untied, 2 dudes are fighting. When girls get out, instead of helping another guy and get the gun away they just ran away and guy get shot. Absolutely idiotic move. Ruined the entire movie

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

A taut exercise with a few teeth-gnashing rafting sequences.

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

It’s not every day that Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf fight for their lives on a whitewater rafting journey, but if River Wild proves anything, it’s that this should be an everyday occurrence.

Decider

But the script has its pitfalls that are typical for low-budget thrillers like this. There are multiple lines of dialogue that feel so corny and out of character, it may even remove you from the action.

Common Sense Media

The best part of this thriller is its brevity, how fast it gets going, and how quickly it reaches its conclusion.

Rated: 2/5

It’s not all that creative or revolutionary but ‘River’ Wild’ manages to be thrilling enough to warrant a watch.
