Review of Red River (2011) by Ashley H — 16 May 2007
I enjoy westerns and this is one of my favorites. But it isn't just shoot-'em-up flick. This movie is a story about relationships particularly ones between fathers and sons. This is about the struggle of growing up in a tough world.
Montgomery Clift, John Wayne, and Walter Brennan are excellent actors and play their parts beautifully. Montgomery plays son of cattle baron Thomas Dunson (Wayne). Dunson adopted Matthew Garth (Clift) after his parents died tragically.
Together with Groot Nadine (Brennan) build a cattle empire. When it's time to drive the cattle north for shipment they start the drive but new secrets are revealed as the drive continues and Garth takes the cattle to Kansas to a railroad station and Dunson pursues.
The landscape shots in this film are also excellent.
