 Long Bright River



Flying under the radar a little bit, Long Bright River is a dark crime drama set in Philadelphia that deals with homelessness, drug addict and police corruption all wrapped up in a pretty good mystery. This has the feel of The Killing or True Detective and has a good script with plenty of twists and turns. I am a fan of Amanda Seyfried and she is terrific in this despite being a little too beautiful to play a beat cop, they do a lot to try to make her look normal, but she pulls this off with gravitas despite the other-wordly beauty. Oddly, I thought the city this was filmed in looked a lot more like New York than Philly and sure enough after examination, this was indeed shot in NYC and why they didn't adapt the story to NY is certainly an oddity. Not sure how many folks would notice this so I can't hold it against the producers too much. Worth the time if dark cop shows are your thing. Solid viewing around a 7.5
