“River Road” (**1/2 out of four) was a moderately engaging serio-melodrama about a rock musician (Cody Kearsley) and a free-spirited woman (Lexi Redman) who form a relationship that soon spirals into a world of drugs and crime and turns both of their lives and realities inside-out and upside-down. Writer/director Rob Willey works in a hallucinatory style that is at times bleakly hypnotic and compelling but films eventually gets lost in its own ozone of ugliness and self-indulgence. Still it’s an overall worthwhile effort. Strong work from Redman and fierce cinematography from Redman are definite standouts.
