Tried her hand at action films with this Curtis Hanson film and proved herself quite credible, bringing emotion as well as the willingness to kick butt. But overworked Dad (David Strathairn) can't make the trip, so she and her son leave without him--and walk right into trouble.

ReviewsPremiere - "...[Bacon] makes a fine counterpoint to [Streep]..." - Recommended, Entertainment Weekly - "...Awe-inspiring white water thrills..." -- Rating: B, New York Times - ...[Hanson] has the makings of a lean, mean thriller....[Streep] captures both Gail's terror and her exhilaration..., Rolling Stone - ...A pulse-pounding thrill ride....Streep is strong, sassy and looser than she has ever been onscreen...
Additional InformationGail (Meryl Streep), a former river guide, plans a white-water rafting trip to celebrate her son Roarke's (Joseph Mazzello) birthday and patch up her troubled marriage to her workaholic husband Tom (David Strathairn). As the family begins their river adventure, they meet Wade (Kevin Bacon), a novice rafter with a magnetic personality. When the family finds Wade and his friend Terry (John C. Reilly) stranded and abandoned by their guide, Gail and Tom decide to help them navigate the rapids. However, family fun turns to terror when Wade and Terry show their true colors--they're really criminals trying to evade the police following a major heist. To make matters worse, their escape route requires that they run the Gauntlet, deadly rapids where three rivers converge in violently tumultuous waters. This taut thriller from director Curtis Hanson (BAD INFLUENCE, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL) features Streep in her first role as an action-adventure heroine, while Bacon is truly menacing as the psychotic Wade, a desperate criminal in over his head.
