Title: Odd Piece of Southern Goth
Review: Undertow starts nicely - particularly in detailing the world of the boys in this rural drama. However, after a while it becomes too rote as a thriller/chase film.Both boys turn in great perfomances and Mulroney is very good as the terminally depressed, bitter and unlucky father.There is some great mood setting up-front that disolves as the story moves into thriller territory. As a thriller however, it is still a little too languid with some major over-indulgent moves by the director. Frankly, it looked beautiful but turned dull.Rental only, if interested.
