Full Plot Details

Diz (Joel Courtney) is a reckless teenage drifter living life on the run. Abandoned by his parents as a child, he looks out for himself and doesn't accept handouts. He takes whatever he wants and runs. Jaded and determined to answer to no one, Diz lives a life marked by thievery and abandonment. Things change for Diz when he floats into a small town on the Snake River. There he is confronted by an unflappable old man named Marty and falls for Marty's guarded granddaughter, Selah. When Diz robs a local drug-dealing crazy, he becomes the owner of a giant pile of cash and the target of two vicious killers. With more money than he knows what to do with, and criminals at his heels, Diz puts the people he's learned to care about in danger, still trying to win Selah. But some things can't be stolen or bought. The River Thief is a film about guilt, self-sacrifice, and accepting life as a gift.

Movie Reviews

Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Frank ScheckA hoary melodrama revealing the filmmaker's inexperience.
Los Angeles Times - 1/10 by Michael RechtshaffenChockful of hoary archetypes making hokey observations...leading to a truly laughable big-ending reveal, the film, with its wildly uneven performances, underscores the pitfalls inherent in shifting from the written page to the big screen.
User Review - 10/10 by howard cLoved this movie. Unique and finally a movie with substance
User Review - 10/10 by Brett BGreat film, with an ending that is very suprising.
User Review - 10/10 by Vaughn WBrilliant movie by N.D. Wilson, a highly gifted writer. For his first production he's done well. A great story with beautiful cinematography and a solid cast. I loved and appreciated the story. Keep 'em coming!
User Review - 10/10 by Christian HThis movie got several good reviews not listed here (for example, Alex Duke of the Gospel Coalition) but one reason this movie is probably worth everyone seeing is the back story behind it. It was written in a weekend and went from script to the completion of filming in 10 days. They made the whole thing with only $400k. With those sorts of challenges in mind (both timing and financial) the film is quite impressive. Definitely worth checking out.
User Review - 10/10 by Angela HThis movie was definitely worth seeing. Acting was very believable and message makes you think no matter what walk of life you walk .... dancing on the dark side or on dancing in the light.
User Review - 10/10 by Gwen BI hate most Christian films: sappy, messy, preachy, dumb. But The River Thief was thoughtful, intelligent, well-acted, and beautiful throughout. Especially given that it was shot in 10 days, this is a truly remarkable film. A great launch into feature films for children's novelist N.D. Wilson.
User Review - 10/10 by Jessica EStunning cinematography. Excellent story. Must see!
User Review - 10/10 by Daniel FSimply fantastic! Great acting, powerful story, and beautifully shot! If you're familiar with N.D. Wilson's children's novels, you know you're in for a treat with The River Thief, his first feature film. This film breaks from the typical Christian film by telling a good story first and foremost. A lost, father-hungry boy discovering true love. Not the sappy, romantic love of your typical Hollywood flick (this girl wouldn't have any of that), but rather the kind of love that creates a longing to live or die for someone else (something new for Diz). A wonderful family film, although there are some rough scenes. My 7-year-old son was spellbound, and somewhat affected by the rough parts. Yet this is the kind of story that is healthy. The emotion, drama, and violence of this *good* story are like emotional boot camp; it allows a young boy or girl to experience these emotions of grief and fear along with the positive life lesson that a good story provides. As a resident of the Northwest where this was shot, I also appreciated the cinematography, which was outstanding! Beautiful aerial views in particular. I highly recommend The River Thief!
