Undertow is a new, uniquely American thriller from director David Gordon Green starring Jamie Bell, Josh Lucas, Dermot Mulroney and newcomer Devon Alan. The film is a rough-and-tumble departure for Green, whose first two movies, George Washington and All the Real Girls, both of which showed at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center, drew worldwide acclaim for their quiet, lyrical sensibility. With Undertow Green marries action, dirt, sweat and menace as he spins a tale of the violent legacy between two generations of brothers. Undertow is rated R, for violence, by the Motion Picture Association of America. In The Machinist Christian Bale plays Trevor Reznik, a man who can barely tell whether he exists anymore. He hasn't slept for a year and he is so thin he is practically disappearing. He knows he is on the run from somebody - but he can't figure out whom. Believing that he's the center of an evil plot, he races from his job to his girlfriend to the local diner looking for clues. Directed by Brad Anderson, The Machinist is rated R for violence.
