It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

A female expert on white water rafting takes her family on a rafting trip in the remote wilderness . The dream trip soon become's a nightmare as they run in to a couple of armed and desperate men .Is the above the premise for DANGEROUS WATERS . Yes it is and coincidentally it's also the exact same premise for THE RIVER WILD as we're introduced to a wholesome all American family that only exist within these type of TVMs . How wholesome are they ? Well Mom chastises teenage daughter for smoking and daughter tries to excuse herself on the grounds that the lighter she uses is a keep sake for her late father . You see Mom is in fact a widow and the smiling happy go lucky dude is her partner rather than husband . She's opposed to smoking but not sex outside of marriage so I take it she's votes Democrat rather than Republican It's important that her partner isn't someone she's known for many years because mindful how much the premise resembles THE RIVER WILD the story takes a different turn halfway through the running time . I have to confess that I'd had this down as a 100 per cent clone of the earlier film starring Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon so the producers of this TVM deserve some credit for making the teleplay go its own way . The problem is that is that it's too incredible to work even though it's a nice try

Just not very good. Despite beautiful river scenes and striking nature settings, the acting is stiff and unnatural. Even suspending belief for the purpose of dramatic effect, there's not enough substance (plot wise) to make it happen. Fortunately, it was a rerun on the local cable channel so I wasn't out the price of admission. What would have improved the show was different casting, a better script, and a more believable premise. Without giving away anything about the movie, (now very old since it was released in 1999), suffice it to say that the themes and movements of plot were frequently illogical, unbelievable, and untidy. Corny is not too strong a word on this one...

This movie is so amazing because it only had 8 people in the entire film. Matt McCoy was so great as playing the role of "Bob Brown". Alana Austin, playing "Chrissie Slavin", was just as good in this as she was in "Motocrossed", a movie about motocross. She is great in this because she has to have a worried face on all the time. "Dangerous Waters" is so suspenseful that you can never predict what is going to happen next. It is very exciting and thrilling. And best of all, it was shot on a beautiful location of a mountainous surrounding next to a hard running river. The characters are described well and you begin to think what they are thinking or a "What would I do if I was in their shoes?" thought. The 8 person cast was so amazing in playing their characters. And what strikes me as odd about this, is that they can make an awesome movie with only the 8 characters. The 4 in particular, which are the mains. The other thing that I wanted to tell about was the terrific camera angles. I noticed that in a few scenes they had the camera swerving around the characters so smoothly and creating an interesting effect. It even makes it more suspenseful and thrilling that way. The Director, Catherine Cyran, also wrote this movie. She did a great job of both parts. The directing and the writing. If this one would have made it big, I am sure that people would like it as much as I did. This movie also wouldn't have been as great if it wasn't for the outstandingly suspenseful and exciting music composed by Alex Wurman. It keeps you hanging on the edge of your seat.Whoever likes thrill movies, this is a great one to watch. And if you see it with someone that has already seen it, don't let them spoil it. This is something that will make you want to keep watching. I saw this on ABC Family Channel, so it could be on again. This is one movie that deserves a 10/10 for it's suspense, music, actors and actresses, and capability to keep the audience watching.

Dangerous Waters delivered a good solid thriller.Connie Sellecca and Matt MCcoy stars and they were both very good. The film also had great locations on land and on water, the beautiful locations really heightened the entertainment value. Fine background music was another positive element.All round the film gave me what I expect from a good thriller.
