 Undertow (2004): Reviews
Undertow may prove the least immediately satisfying of Green's films, but it remains an achievement, emotionally rich and rife with biblical and mythic undertones.
To call Undertow a '70s-style revenge movie is accurate, but those unfamiliar with Green who expect a typical genre picture may wonder why it takes so long to get to the action.
Undertow seems to be straining to say something at once tragic and heartwarming about fathers, sons and brothers, but I'm damned if I know what it is.

 Mixed Reviews - Undertow - reviewed by Jill Cozzi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It's fortuitous, then, that UNDERTOW, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and recently opened at the New York Film Festival, is helmed by David Gordon Green, whose languid and lyrical All the Real Girls garnered three Cinemarati Award nominations last year.
UNDERTOW, which the opening credits allude to being based on a true story, involves John Munn (Dermot Mulroney), a taciturn, none-too-successful widowed Georgia hog farmer who is raising his two sons Chris (Jamie Bell) and Tim (Devon Adam) away from civilization after the death of his wife.
Unlike Greene's previous film, the languor that hovers over UNDERTOW is undercut once Deel arrives, accompanied by his ever-present aura of barely-concealed malevolence, which explodes in some rather graphically violent scenes made all the more stomach-churning by the overall lyricism of the rest of the film.

Undertow (version 2) was released as part of the sixteenth series (2000) carded in a two-pack with Firefly.
Undertow came with a fl mask, a fl harpoon, a fl sled, a fl hose, two blue flippers, a fl missile (that attached to the sled), and a fl figure stand.
Undertow (version 2) was created from the same mold as the original Undertow (1990) and the modified version was used to create Undertow (v3) (2002).

Green goes gothic in Undertow, which brings the earnest aestheticizing mannerisms of George Washington and All the Real Girls to a narrative modeled on The Night of the Hunter.
Soon the boys are fleeing for their lives through a timeless landscape of hobo jungles and bayous, conversing in an odd mixture of psychobabble and Appalachian blank verse.
Undertow's flopsy-mopsy kids, backwoods kooks, metaphysical babbling, and arch line readings can be tough to stomach.

 IGN: Undertow Review
Undertow is the equivalent of a pig with five legs: fascinating to look at, but difficult to comprehend.
There are plenty of great low-budget films that amaze the audience and keep their attention – Reservoir Dogs, Kids, Bottle Rocket – and it would serve Green well to realize that it's acceptable to go heavier on plot and trim up a few of the atmospheric scenes.
Frustratingly, Undertow is a picture that speaks volumes with any one shot, but says far too little when the pictures are strung together.

 Emanuel Levy : Review - Undertow
Rooted in the tradition of Southern Gothic, “Undertow” is a familiar intergenerational family melodrama that’s more effective as a suspenseful actioner than as a symbolic allegory about evil, greed, and the kind of violence that passes from one generation to the next.
A male-dominated drama, “Undertow” centers on a triangle of family relationships, each more problematic than the other, each influenced by a past that continues to haunt and define the present.
What makes “Undertow” more interesting, colorful, and nuanced than a routine revenge thriller are the stops that the siblings make along the way.

 Movie Review - Undertow - Hollywood Bitchslap   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
This is the third feature from David Gordon Green, director of “George Washington” and “All the Real Girls.” He’s a filmmaker who has deserved and received praise for effectively utilizing a downtrodden landscape- the decaying rural South- to tell typical stories of memorable summers and miscalculated love in his own unconventional narratives.
“Undertow” exists in a modern South unaffected by time, the kids play with Tonka trucks instead of videogames and cars are either piled high in junkyards or feature a thick layer of rust.
It may be a stretch, but Green is comparable to another young filmmaker Wes Anderson, both of their films inherently feature strokes of the corrupted ideals of the American Dream.

 Notherby's :: Undertow
Musically, "Undertow" is kind of like Tool's third album, 1996's "Aenima," but it's more subtle because this album's guitar riffs don't roar or explode as much.
Undertow features a very grungy, dirty feel to it, unlike Lateralus, which feels much more clean.
Undertow is also Tool's most musically adventurous album, lacking the occasionally numbing sameness of Aenima, and with considerably more sophistication than their previous work.

 Like Anna Karina's Sweater: NYFF Review: Undertow
Undertow's greatest strength lies with its actors, particularly Jamie Bell, who not only delivers his lines in perfect Southern accent, but is also so utterly convincing as the so-dirty-you-can-smell-him teenage boy on the run.
Undertow, with its Southern gothic tale, is the most narrative of Green's films, and should appeal to a wider audience than his other two features.
Undertow is being released by United Artists at the end of October.

The action hinges on a set of gold coins that have an almost fairy-tale significance -- it's clear that the Brothers Grimm were an influence on the story.
Others who, like myself, admired almost everything about his earlier efforts but their lack of a strong narrative line are glad that this time there is one.
Undertow brings to mind Carson McCullers, or the stories of Truman Capote or Eudora Welty or William Faulkner, or (closer to today) the early novels of Cormac McCarthy; or the photographs of Ralph Eugene Meatyard or Sally Mann.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Undertow
Undertow begins with a stylish (and painfully unforgettable) opening sequence that evokes raucous teen mischief flicks, and then appears to settle into a quirky slice-of-rural-life groove before angling again into thriller territory, and ultimately evolves into an Badlands-like road adventure (Terrence Malick is credited as a producer).
Bell is not the only actor in the film to excel, with Mulroney in fine form, and the typically engaging Lucas giving yet another intense and charming performance.
All that Undertow lacks, really, is an ending, and as the movie winds toward some kind of conclusion it becomes ever more precious, with a couple of ungainly monologues and a turn or two that slice wide of credibility.

Instead, his landscapes have the kind of underlined ambiguity you'd find in the work of a serious painter; these are not trees and swamps and rivers, but Trees and Swamps and Rivers -- it's here that the parallel with "Night of the Hunter" is most visible.
"Undertow" is the closest Green has come to a conventional narrative, although at times you can sense him pulling away from narrative requirements to stay a little longer in a moment that fascinates him.
Films like "Undertow" leave some audiences unsettled, because they do not proceed predictably according to the rules.

Undertow is mostly development, the second half a chase of sorts—and not a particularly riveting one, at that.
Undertow is far more interesting than the second, with an enticing buildup involving the four leads and their various interactions with one another.
Undertow really only comes alive when Josh Lucas (Deel) is onscreen—taking charge of the surroundings and clichéd moments, he gives them energy and makes them palatable.

Souvent comparé à Crowbar, le trio allemand Undertow propose avec "34CE" un nouvel album à l'approche pour le moins difficile, tant la cohabitation de styles et d'ambiance à priori aussi différents risque fort de décontenancer plutôt que rallier la plus grande frange du public.
Naviguant à contre-courant des productions métal actuelles, Undertow se pemet de sortir un album sans artifices et dénué de tout effet superflu, mais qui est malheureusement desservi par un son qui manque par trop de relief et de puissance pour permettre aux compos d'atteindre leur plein potentiel.
