Review of Undertow

Undertow (2004)
7/10
B+ Movie, A+ Boring
26 March 2006
If you are looking for an action, thriller, or suspense movie--skip by this. If you are looking for a great story/plotted movie with emotion and thematic elements, pick this up. Either way, be prepared for a slow and very boring movie. I believe this should have definitely been rated PG-13, because the single violent scene shouldn't deserve enough to be an R-rating. Nonetheless, it is a good film with excellent acting, well-played dramatical intensity, and an overall good film. Not recommended for action or thriller fans, though. I can say, anyhow, that the movie moved me a bit and kept me wanting to see the end; if you pick this up and start watching it, you better finish it. However, one thing that did disappoint me was the abrupt ending; cannot say how it ends {no spoilers}, but when/if you do watch it (-all the way through-) then you should know what I mean. Yet if you are one of those people who pick up a movie and will stop it after like thirty minutes of being pretty bored, then don't get or else you better finish it--because in the end it was worth it. Recommended, of course, for rent. 7/10, 3/5
