Peace River

I was tempted to give this film a score of 1 but the location photography is lovely and it attempts to address some important issues of war and our deeply held values so I brought it up to a 4 in acknowledgment of these strengths (and the touching ending). Maria Martinez' character is narcissistic, spoilt, sanctimonious and unbelievably poisonous. She hits the male lead which is completely unacceptable in the circumstances and treats him like a doll she can play with and torture. Why he comes back for more is far beyond me..... But that is just the surface of my disgust...... to insinuate that ANY soldier, let alone special ops, would be so stupid as to go out and bring explosives in to kill all the men he is in charge of protecting is plain insulting to every soldier everywhere - NO ONE is that stupid or 'holier than thou' and to insinuate the families of the dead men would call that heroism is plain crazy...... I was sickened by this story.....

This is such a good movie I have seen it twice. I invited friends and they too have high ratings. Well worth your time and your money. Most of what has been playing is disgusting.

I am so confused as to how this movie has good ratings. This movie proves that Hallmark movies are not the cheesiest movies of all time. The immediate first 2 minutes of the movie seem like a trailer, so pay attention. I left about an hour in. Lacks plot. Clearly low budget. The acting is AWFUL. Even the costumes are rough. So many weird shots of the characters just looking around/riding horses. Enjoy 50 different camera angles during the rare dialogue. It's fun if you go in with low expectations and enjoy a good laugh, but it was not at all what I expected. I give it a 2 for effort, but this film could have been made by some broke college kids with a video camera. I cannot attest to the ending of the movie, as I did not stay because I felt like I was wasting my life.

Fans of sentimental soaps beware, this might be of interest for you. Lots of American patriotic values, lots of violins, lots of wide deserts, lots of American God fearing folks, trying to make the best of their lives. The bad: This movie is not really a movie, technically speaking, but more a kind of a soap production, that is meant for television. It's not my cup of tea because I cant stand sugarcoated sentimental scenes, but for those who dont mind, this could be of interest. The story is about an all American guy, who leaves his love because he feels the duty to serve his country in the military, like all of his family before him has done. What will become of him? Will his love of his life still be waiting for him?

Modern day Cowboy movie. Some great themes. Cinematography is superb. Characters are believable and scenery is spectacular. Hallmark channel would love to show this movie. Enjoy!
