Undertow

Set in contemporary South, a dramatic thriller about two brothers, Chris and Tom, who are forced to go on the run in order to guard a secret following the death of their father--and the arrival of their greedy, troubled uncle.

PETER TRAVERS - October 28, 2004

Two brothers, strongly played by Billy Elliot's Jamie Bell and Devon Alan, head deeper into the Deep South after their ex-con uncle (Josh Lucas) kills their dad (Dermot Mulroney) over gold coins. Director and co-writer David Gordon Green, best known for the poetic gravity of George Washington and All the Real Girls, wants to blend Huck Finn with The Night of the Hunter. It's no go. Green and Gothic make for a clumsy fit.
