Turn the River (2007)

Turn the River: Directed by Chris Eigeman. With Famke Janssen, Jaymie Dornan, Rip Torn, Matt Ross. A pool shark takes the ultimate gamble when she kidnaps her own son and flees her ex-husband.

“I will say that Chris Eigemanu0026#39;s u0026quot;Turn the Riveru0026quot; constitutes a worthy character study, but I did find it a little slow. Famke Janssen plays Kailey Sullivan, a woman with some problems in life. However, she does have one noble aim: rescuing her son (Jaymie Dornan) from his abusive father. From here, much of the movie centers on Kaileyu0026#39;s playing pool and how it works into her plan.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLike I said, this movie works best as a character study, as I found it a little slow. One thing that I wondered while watching it is how they film people playing pool. You canu0026#39;t tell where the balls will go when people hit them, so do the people behind the camera just film the scene over and over again until the balls go the right way? Anyway, OK seeing maybe once. Also starring Rip Torn.”
