Movie Reviews

Minneapolis Star Tribune - 9/10 by Colin CovertThis is the sort of film where you enjoy the cast even though the running time becomes a bit of a snore.
Madison Movie - 6/10 by Rob Thomas"The Surface" has such fine performances in it from Mulkey and Astin that you wish the filmmakers had trusted them more, letting them bring the film back to shore on their own.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 6/10 by Graham KilleenHere's a four-word review of "The Surface": Go see "The Surface."
User Review - 8/10 by Laura KSean Astin and Chris Mukley provide fine performances in director Gil Cates Jr. suspenseful film centered on two desperate men who have a chance meeting in the middle of Lake Michigan. Mitch (Astin) is determined to kill himself because he blames himself for his fathers death in a factory accident. Kelly Enright (Mulkey) crashes his plane into the Lake while on a delivery of a backpack with $125,000 for either drugs or black market human body parts. Both men are desperately searching for hope and identity in their lives. The videography is stunning, and the writing creates a realistic give and take of hostility until each man realizes he must depend upon the other for survival. The film begins with a dream-like sequence of Mitch preparing for his trip out onto Lake Michigan (and his eventual suicide). He meticulously preps for his day, fills a bird feeder with enough seed to last several weeks, then visits his mother (who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease) in a nursing home. After making certain that everything he is leaving behind is in order, Mitch motors his fathers small fishing boat out into the lake. Soon Mitch discovers the wreckage of a small plane and pulls the pilot (Kelly), who had been clinging to part of one of the wings, into his craft. The remainder of the film entails Mitch and Kelly discussing bleaker anecdotes of life that all of us experience and, often, keep to ourselves. Mitch has suffered the loss of his girlfriend through a skate boarding accident, the death of his father through the warehouse accident, and his mother to Alzheimer's. Through a chance cell phone call from the men who are awaiting Kelly's arrival with the money, Mitch is able to contact 911 and both men are rescued by the Coast Guard stationed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. By the time of the rescue both men have helped each discover that hope survives. As Kelly said to Mitch during one of Mitch's self-indulgent diatribes, "...don't do that to yourseld [...] people have choices...". This is a must see indy film. The acting is sound, the writing is crisp and honest, the directing is insightful, and the videography is stunning and haunting.
User Review - 4/10 by Ellen GTrodde det skulle være en triller, men var en drama. Mye prat.
User Review - 2/10 by Alyssa JWait, is this a joke? One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Very slow, and even more boring!!! It just drags on and on and on. The whole time I was contemplating turning it off, and now I wish I did. What a waste of time!
User Review - 2/10 by bill sWaist of time. Not really a thriller. More like a one man show on a off Broadway show shared by two people.
