DVD Reviews of The River Niger
DVD Review: Exceptional Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
The production of this movie leaves much to be desired, it almost has a home movie feel to it. But the movie itself is real deep right on down to it's liberation armies, informers, and agent infiltrating provocateurs. Glynn Turman gives a superb performance as the ex air force vet, finally come home to the hood for good. Glynn Turman is one of my all time favorite actors (Cooly High, J.D.'S Revenge). The rest of the allstar cast give excellent performances. From James Earl Jones to Cicely Tyson. When you really look at it, this movie, it covers so many themes relevant to the times then(70's)and now. VietNam (wars), Revolutionary Struggle,gangs, drug use, father son relationships,cancer, romantic relationships, honor etc. If not for the production I would have given this movie a 5 but inspite of that I think it's excellent, and I'm glad to add it among my formidable collection of so called "black" classic movies. My copy contained a classic "black" cartoon "John Henry" the steel driving man, as a youth, it was one of the only cartoons "representing" on T.V., a real treat.
