DVD Review: Where The Rivers Flow North
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this film based on a couple of reviews that rated it as 5 star. We found it a strech to get 3 stars. I love Michael J. Fox, but his character is really minor and his part was stiff and really added nothing to the plot. I think he was added to the cast strictly as name draw. Rip Torn did a fairly good job of what he was asked to do: play a stubborn old coot with nothing but a lease on some federal land to stand on. This is coupled with his inhospitable character's attitude, his desire to live a completely isolated life with his common law indian 'subserviant', less than equal companion, he did a good job. The maneuvers employed by the developers and the sheriff are sluggish and inept at conveying the importance of the project. Their actions are so amaturish as to be unbelievable. The script makes the project sound like some shady land grabbing dealings trying to oust a true nature loving native off of his birthright land, and that the the goal merely represents some big business pushing down little people. I think, after seeing the whole thing, it was an attempt to say progress is bad, especially if it seems to hurt even one single individual, no matter how wrong he or his motives prove to be. He was offerred 100 times what his 'occupancy' lease was worth. He was offerred to save a tremendous area as a preserve for generations. All while he actually had no ligitimate claim to any timber or other resources on the land. The fact that he, at the end, later destroys most of what he claimed he was protecting, exacerbates the situation and proves the plot senseless. Some good scenery, but mostly waiting for something significant to happen between the characters and or the plot. It didn't happen, it doesn't come together.
