The Crimson Rivers

CrimeMysteryThriller106 min

A grisly murder at a remote mountain college pulls veteran investigator Pierre Niemans into a case of mutilated bodies, buried secrets, and ritual violence, while a desecrated grave in a nearby town sends another cop down a parallel path. Jean Reno is Niemans, a methodical detective with a reputation for hunting serial killers; Vincent Cassel’s Max Kerkerian is younger, rougher, and chasing clues that begin to overlap with Niemans’s investigation. As the two cases converge, the search leads through graveyards, villages, and an isolated academic world where each new discovery points to a deeper, more disturbing history.
