When a skittish crack-head disappears with a ten pack of Kush, the naïve drug dealers who fronted him the buds must scramble to raise $30,000 before word spreads to the higher ups. While their plan to kidnap the thieves' teenage brother at first seems like a stroke of genius, the scheme is complicated when the frightened adolescent unexpectedly dies. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Though some observers feel that the made-for-cable Dangerous Waters was merely a derivation of the earlier theatrical feature River Wild, be assured that the later film includes a few novel and unanticipated twists. While on a rafting trip with her kids and her newboyfriend Bob (Matt McCoy), river expert Sarah (Connie Selleca) is waylaid by escaped convicts searching for stolen money. Earlier, Sarah had rescued an unconscious man, who may or may not be connected with the crooks. Whatever the case, Bob takes charge of the situation, apparently playing for time by claiming he knows the location of the money--mainly because he's the one who hid it. A deadly game of cat-and-mouse between captors and captives develops, followed by an even more harrowing excursion down the rapids and towards safety. Throughout it all, however, Sarah cannot help but wonder what Bob is up to--and why? First telecast by the Fox Family channel on February 7, 1999, Dangerous Waters was filmed under the title Imminent Danger, and still goes by that name in reruns. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this adventure story for the whole family, young Ian (Jeffrey Sharmat) has resigned himself to a boring vacation after he's told that he'll have to spend the summer with his Grandma Mimi (Eileen Brennan). After making friends with a neighborhood girl named Jules (Stephanie Sawyer), Ian and his new companion become curious about the legends surrounding the spooky old mansion at the end of their street. Upon sneaking into the house, they discover that Franklin Lyle (Ernest Borgnine), believed to have disappeared 40 years ago, is living inside, and that a con artist named Jimmy Murano (Jason Hervey) wants to lay claim to the house -- and the money he's convinced is hidden inside. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
