My wife and I went to see the movie MUD today and I must say
that Jeff Nichols did an excellent job of writing this screenplay and also
directing it. The movie is a coming of
age film with a great ensemble cast headed by Matthew McConaugey and backed up
by Sam Sheppard, Reese Witherspoon, and Joe Don Baker. The other actors in this drams also do a
great job but it was nice to see the Oldies but Goodies in action again.
The story coneters around two young boys who are trying to
help a fugitive, MUD (played by Matthew McConaugey) who is on the run from the
police and a gang of blood-thirsty bounty hunters hired by King (Joe Don Baker). Mud becomes friends with Arkansas teenagers
Ellis and Neckbone.
The fugitive attempts to reunite with his love Juniper, and
the teenagers help him evade the authorities.
It is a coming of age tale with elements of true love,
revenge, and much misunderstanding.
I highly recommend this movie.
