Red River (1988 TV Movie)
3/10
Definitely a TV remake

They should have left the original alone. John Wayne must be turning in his grave. Love triangle between Jerry and Matt was an unnecessary addition. Why ruin a perfect scenario.The Indian attack was weak. So much more could have been done. If you are going to remake a movie make sure its better. Most of the acting was weak. You don't care about the characters. What were they thinking. James Arness is OK but not crazy enough. For men to mutiny there has to be more of a change in Arness character. It's too flat lined.. Okay to watch with a couple of beers when nothing else is on. Luckily only original available on DVD. I hope they keep it that way.
