Most helpful review Undertow

  • Updating the American Gothic

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By GreenwichPaul (49 reviews) from London , 25 May 2006

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Undertow is a fascinating if flawed film that retreads the same ground as the classic 'Night of the Hunter'.

    Slow paced and a step removed from reality this has echoes of producer Terence Malick's magnificent 'Badlands' with it langorous atmosphere and detached voiceover.

    Ultimately the film never hits the same heights as either of the aforementioned films but it is brave enough to aspire to meaningfulness and is, in its own rights, an enjoyable film.

    Director Green populates his film with redneck gothic and unrealistic poetic dialogue so there is plenty here for fans of American though less for a mainstream audience

    Intriguing

  • Really good film

    Rated - 3.5 stars

    A good storyline told well; engaging throughout with very believable characters. Emotionally tugging towards the end and also slightly ambiguous but to say any more would be a spoiler. Well worth watching; great acting.

  • brotherly love hate and horror

    Rated - 3.5 stars

    pretty good movie kept me entranced from start to finish. there were a few scary moments but mostly it was a family film with fear tossed in. The young actors were great. all in all if you have a while to waste and you are looking for a good all round film with a strong storyline brotherly love hate and horror you cant go much wrong with this movie.

  • Very Slow and weak storyline

    Rated - 2.5 stars  
    By Film_enjoyer (6 reviews) , 31 Jan 2013
    Not a great film. Very slow and the story line was very weak. I like Jamie Bell and thought the film would be good with him in it. However, it wasn't and although his acting and the guy that played his brother was good too, it didn't make up for the poor storyline.
