Fearing scandal, the school insists it was suicide. But after dicovering from the boy's girlfriend, Carlin, that he was being badly bullied, Abel suspects that a dangerous schoolboy initiation has gone horribly wrong and he secretly solicits the help of a sympathetic teacher, Betsy. He is warned off the investigation by his boss, as the school is a generous benefactor to the Police benevolent fund. Abel, however, cannot let the case go, not only because his own brother committed suicide years before, but also it seems that the spirit of the dead boy is leaving them clues as to what really happened that night. The River King is a Myriad Pictures and Movision Entertainment Limited presentation of a Kismet Films, IMX Communications, Spice Factory, Myriad Pictures Ltd. production in association with Movision, Telefilm Canada, TMN: The Movie Network and Movie Central. --© Myriad Pictures [More]

Sem jamais optar entre uma linha narrativa realista ou fantasiosa, o filme se fragiliza também em função de uma trama frouxa que traz personagens desnecessários e uma conclusão pessimamente resolvida.

A slow-moving, badly-written, and messily constructed whodunit that succeeds in being boring and not much else. Full Review |

One possible outcome after another is broadly telegraphed as the movie plods along, but most lines of inquiry are never to be resolved. Full Review |
