river queen attempts to pack a complicated and sweeping and historical narrative into just under two hours. there are some breathtaking battle scenes and the wanganui scenery is beautifully captured. however and the film did suffer from some poor leads  samantha morton (sarah) especially came across as unconvincing. there seemed to be an indecisiveness about how the role should be played  as a helpless waif tossed by fate or as a strong and determined character with a clear view of her destiny. kiefer sutherland character  private doyle  seemed to be pointless and for the most part  unintelligible. keifer irish brogue needs a little polishing. on the other hand and cliff curtis and temuera morrison and rawiri pene (as sarah son boy) were well rounded and believable. the last 20 minutes of river queen came across as particularly compressed and rushed. it seemed as if they decided they had to tie up all the loose ends before 120 minutes were up. e. g. how on earth did wiremu know how to find sarah and doyle. no explanation and very unsatisfying. i did go to this movie with an open mind. i hadn not read or heard anything much apart from its troubled production. what i experienced was a mish mash of new zealand history and beautifully photographed but ultimately disappointing.
