5.0 out of 5 stars A top notch thriller/suspense movie, December 19, 2000
By retrowens (Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Undertow [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"Undertow" is definitely one of the best thriller and suspense movies I've ever seen. Lou Diamond Phillips stars as Jack, a drifter who crashed in an isolated part of South Carolina. A terrible storm is brewing and he's stuck staying in a cabin with a psychotic man named Lyle (Charles Dance) and Lyle's terror-stricken wife, Willie (Mia Sara). Jack has no other place to go in the approaching hurricane so he has to watch his every step or Lyle might do him in. But Jack also notices that Willie seems to be troubled like she's been abused for many years and he wants to help her.

"Undertow" has good special effects and even a better plot. But what really makes it a great suspense movie is the top notch acting in the movie by all three people, especially Charlie Dance. If you like great suspense movies, I recommend getting "Undertow," you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars An adrenalic and thrilling psycholgical suspensense film., January 20, 2000
This review is from: Undertow [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I wouldn't have thought a movie about three people trapped in a house in the woods would be as compelling as this way cool Showtime film. Director Eric Red, working again with his writing partner Kathryn Bigelow, creates a moody, atmospheric, and exeptionally well-acted story about a stranded drifter battling with a psychotic and creepy mountain man over his beautiful young wife in the U.S. backwoods. Strong photography and wild action set pieces, plus super performances by Charles Dance and Lou Diamond Phillips (and even Mia Sara!), made this, for me, a worthwhile watch. Watch out for the boiler in the basement. My only complaint was it looked like the film was shot in Europe, with the director having to create Tennesse over there. I could tell because the mountain man's truck was a Russian military Ural (although it admittedly looked much more sinister than an American Peterbilt or Mack). It reminded me of Red's movies "THE HITCHER", "NEAR DARK", and "BAD MOON". Rent it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well done and sensual, September 15, 2005
This review is from: Undertow [VHS] (VHS Tape)
An excellent movie for either man or woman. It has its scary side, in the character of Lyle, a psychopath, a love interest in Jack and Willie, and from a male point of view, Mia Sara is wonderfully gorgeous even when she tries not to be. Her one nude scene is well worth seeing. She is just as attractive nude as she is clothed, if not more so. Not worth 5 stars, but worth at least 4.

2.0 out of 5 stars Deep, deep, deep.
Okay - so a cast of three was pretty impressive. Charles Dance was incredibly impressive.

But the silly struggle of emotions between Lou Diamond and Mia was out of place and... Read more
