RIVER’S END | 2005 | FULL DRAMA MOVIE | BEST HOLLYWOOD MOVIES

Huntington, ("Jungle to Jungle," "Superman Returns") stars as Clay Watkins, a 17-year old whose anger and sadness at the death of his father send his young life into a downward spiral. Struggling at his new school, kicked off the basketball team and wanted for an act of petty crime, Clay's troubles become a problem for his grandfather, Buster (Corbin -- "One Tree Hill," "Monte Walsh") who also happens to be the local sheriff. Buster -- who knows that "rough water makes smooth stones" -- gives Clay one last chance to straighten out by presenting him with a choice: navigate a 60-mile stretch of the rugged Pecos River -- or go to jail. The trip proves more than Clay bargained for when he encounters two outlaws in a dash for the Mexican border with a kidnapped girl (Brooks -- "Cut Off," "D-War") in tow. Through the hardship, danger and beauty of life on the river, Clay confronts his fear and grief and begins to learn what it means to be a good man.
