4.0 out of 5 stars
Masterpiece?,

This review is from: Undertow [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Roger Ebert described this movie as a masterpiece. While I agree with many of Mr. Ebert's reviews, I'll respectfully disagree on this one. It has an mediocre plot about a man who is released from prison and is invited to live with his brother and his two sons. The older son has been labeled as a trouble maker and the other one has a bad habit of eating things like mud and paint. There is some bad blood between the two brothers that leads to murder and the two boys go on the run with a stash of gold coins their father had hidden away. The movie is filmed in rural Georgia and is intent on showing life on "the wrong side of the the tracks". The acting is universally good and the story kept my interest, but I found it depressing and vaguely unnerving. The ending was uplifting, but not enough to boost it from 4 stars to 5. If you like to be entertained with lots of stunts, explosions & special effects, this movie isn't for you.
