Based on a true story, the central conceit plays out perfectly, as arrogant corporate warriors are humbled by the forces of nature on a mandatory company-sponsored wilderness weekend. Only the two-part structure, which relegates the last half to courtroom drama, undercuts the tension. Seeking to boost the morale and warrior spirit of his corporate minions, advertising honcho Dan Cotler Alan Alda rallies his troops for a weekend in the wild, which they will spend river-rafting down the infamous "white mile," a stretch of white water noted for its difficulty and danger.

Seeking to impress a fence-sitting client, Cotler invites retired company point man Nick Karas Robert Loggia , ostensibly for a relaxing spell of fly-fishing. The river guide shows up with only one large raft, into which they all manage to squeeze. Overloaded and top-heavy, the raft proves too much for even a trained professional to handle, and before long, three of their party lie dead: a new hire who had openly expressed reservations, a twinkly old-schooler Jack Gilpin , and Karas.

Quotes Jack Robbins : Is your knee hurting, Dan? User reviews 10 Review. Top review. This work relates, speaking in broad terms, a narrative based upon a true story of a group of executives that is pressured into taking part in a whitewater raft trip, during which an unfortunate incident occurs.

A subsequent lawsuit which addresses the incident completes a good portion of the film. The entire production wants nothing, as all involved perform at a high level. The scenario, by Michael Butler, is stripped neatly to its essence, and immediately engages the viewer with its combination of visceral excitement, suspense, and character development. The direction by the veteran Robert Butler is precise and enhanced by the splendidly balanced casting.

Alan Alda gives his finest performance, softly creating a characterization which fascinates as it develops. The scenes immediately leading to, and including, the actual raft trip are enthralling as a test of strength between Alda's character and his companions, a test that reveals varying moral sensibilities. Editing, in a film reflecting issues of larger scope than are commonly seen, provides an important framework; here, a linear structure is created and moves smartly.

The cinematography and lighting, under the aegis of Lloyd Ahern II, can be enthusiastically endorsed with a wide range of scena as a standard to be envied.

The score by Pray For Rain, refreshingly non-DJ, implies applicable emotion neatly and nicely throughout this interesting and beautifully balanced motion picture. An obviously high level of preparation by all involved brings forth one of the finest films of the 90s. Details Edit. Release date May 21, United States.
