Despite quality actors the script has the characters make really dumb choices. Several times someone stands by doing nothing when they could have easily helped the situation.
We know Brody is bad because he has face tattoos but nothing else about him is truly menacing. Not to mention his motivations are non-existent. Why is he doing any of this?
Additionally, the "wild river" rapids are way less intense than an amusement park water ride. In the inevitable raft tips over scene the rapids are slow moving and one of the characters is clawing for her life in still waters.
Watch The River Wild with Streep and Bacon instead.
