Search: Starring Josh Lucas

What matters here is what is real and what is the figment of a sick imagination.

The film is so slow, slugs feed off it.

Russell Crowe carries the can and he does so with honour and the can becomes a trophy, richly deserved.

Audrey is the most realistic and respectfully written teenage girl in any film so far this year.

The strength of the film lies in the singing, which Girard himself directed.

Suture, have avoided every cliche of film noir.

The first thing to say about the film is that it looks stunning. The second thing is that it takes forever before transformation time.

Several films have used almost this exact plot before.

McConaughey works above and beyond his usual remit to remind us that he can also convey a formidable intensity and subtle sensitivity.

The film avoids the easy route to Clicheville and stays on the dark side of the road.

A handful of the passengers may eventually get out of the ship alive, but in this massive overhaul of The Poseidon Adventure (1972), nothing, it seems, can save them from Mark Protosevich's sinking script.

The cast do a splendid job of portraying the rough and tumble inhabitants of the mining town, each with their own problems and desires.

None of it is remotely believable.

Beautifully observed conversations explore the trivial ways in which people opt to waste their lives, but without condemnation.

The film is so false, it's all cardboard and frills.

Emphasising texture over tension, Undertow plays like a mud-splattered Hansel and Gretel.

Stylistically the film is a bit of a mess, frontloading with all sorts of showy technique but then settling down into a more talky, actor-dominated approach.
