Mathew Mc Conaughey plays the title character Mud. He acts and looks the part. Not since "Waterworld" have we seen character living on the water so dirty. The performances are excellent, from the seasoned professionals and the younger stars.

Written and directed by, makes the movie a tad long. It is slow with no sense of urgency until a snake bite thrusts things into high gear. The "Bonnie and Clyde" minus Bonnie, shoot out was extreme. The hand of the writer showed with the dialogue cover exposition of "the girl saw you take the motor". Women are not treated well.

Good use of music, can't go wrong with the Beach Boys. With a few flaws, it is still a very good movie. Seems to be in limited release, but it's worth seeking out.
