River Runs Red

When a judge's son is shot dead by two police officers and the officers walk free, a veteran detective uncovers damaging files on them. The grieving judge, Charles Coleman, Sr., joins forces with the detective and with another father who has lost a child, and the three men set out to punish those they hold responsible themselves rather than wait on the courts.

River Runs Red is a 2018 crime thriller directed by Wes Miller, who also wrote the screenplay. It was the first of four features he has directed, followed by Hell on the Border, A Day to Die and Wildcards. Taye Diggs plays Charles Coleman, Sr., with John Cusack as the detective Horace and George López as Javier. Luke Hemsworth and Gianni Capaldi appear as the two officers, Von and Rory, and Briana Evigan plays Marilyn. The production, a British and American co-production, credits 27 cast members in total.

Released in November 2018, the film runs 94 minutes. Audience response has been modest: on IMDb it holds 4.4 out of 10 from roughly 3,900 votes, while on TMDB it stands at 5.5 out of 10 from about 161 votes. The two figures point to a small, largely unenthusiastic audience rather than a wide following, with the TMDB sample far smaller than the IMDb one.
