Ex Input:
when 17 year old beau hall ( jonathan tucker , " the virgin suicides " ) gets in a car accident after drinking with his 30 year old companion , club owner darby reese ( josh lucas , " session 9 " ) , his mom , margaret ( tilda swinton , " the war zone " ) pays reese a visit to convince him to leave her son alone .
instead , reese travels out to their lake tahoe home and lures beau out to the boat house where beau learns that his mother was right about reese .
the next morning margaret discovers darby 's dead body on their beach and , suspecting the worst , weights it down in a distant part of the lake .
but her troubles are just beginning , as she soon learns with the arrival of blackmailer alek spera ( goran visnjic , " practical magic " ) in " the deep end .
" the incredibly pale , red - headed scottish actress swinton immerses herself into the role of the reserved american super - mom whose life revolves around serving the needs of her three children and live - in father - in - law jack ( peter donat , " the game " ) .
she shows great strength while allowing other emotions to glimmer through - discomfort at challenging reese in his gay disco ( named the deep end ) , near panic at having to dive down to his body to retrieve car keys , or even wry humor when an attempt to get help from jack becomes hopelessly miscommunicated .
gradually her loneliness becomes apparent ( her husband 's a naval officer , usually away at sea ) when her attempts to email him her concerns about beau are deleted and later , when a most unusual , yet chaste , romance turns tragic .
it 's a terrific performance .
the stendahl syndrome - like script , adapted from elisabeth sanxay holding 's 40 's noir novel ' the blank wall ' by directors scott mcgehee and david siegel , would be unbelievable if not for swinton and her costar visnjic .
alek spera is a wrong side of the tracks loser who arrives after reese 's body has been discovered .
he shows margaret a videotape of beau having sex with reese and demands $ 50 , 000 or he 'll turn the tape over to the reno police .
subsequent visits will turn his mind set upside down and backwards , though , as he comes to admire and even love the woman he set out to blackmail .
there 's yet another problem , though - his partner nagle ( raymond barry , " dead man walking " ) is a harder cored criminal who wo n't let up until his share of the money is delivered .
visnjic 's dark , brooding turn has an interior shading to it that makes us believe he 's a victim of circumstance and environment .
his turnaround is palpable as he witnesses margaret 's inherent decency and her workaday surroundings .
also outstanding is tucker as beau , who has a terrific character arc and pas de deux with his mother .
initially beau 's the typical sullen teen . '
you 're blowing this out of proportion , ' he says of her concerns about reese , not comprehending that his mom has enough insight to have divined the true nature of the relationship .
as his mom gets in deeper and deeper trying to cover up a crime he did n't commit , beau becomes suspicious of her actions and apparent new companion , turning tables .
his early black eye becomes her later split lip .
while the two can never be completely honest with each other , their love for each other comes through strongly .
the directors ( " suture " ) have a firm grip on their material and cast .
the story builds perfectly with bold strokes amidst a myriad of subtler underpinnings .
water imagery is constant ( an early shot of weirdly rushing green is revealed to be a young boy cleaning out an aquarium ) .
giles nuttgens ( " fire " ) cinematography , which won the 2001 sundance festival award , is crisp and startlingly clear .
the tahoe locations and production design by kelly mcgehee and christopher tandon provide a dual personality for the film , contrasting the calm , well off existence of the lake against the gambling city of reno .
"
the deep end " is a complex story of domino deeds and shifting relationships .
take the plunge .

Ex Input:
one would think that david duchovny , star of the cult favorite " x - files " would be very careful in choosing his leading man cinema roles .
at least one would hope so .
one would be seriously incorrect .
eugene sands ( duchovny ) is a surgeon so dedicated to his craft that he becomes addicted to amphetamines to stay awake and work more .
it turns out to be a bad plan when he loses a patient and his license while under the influence .
ten months later , in a seedy bar to score synthetic heroin , the doctor gets a chance to ply his trade when assassins gun down a customer . using a plastic water bottle and bar tubing , sands operates and saves his life .
smalltime hoodlum raymond blossom ( timothy hutton ) is impressed with the cutlery skills on his associate .
he kidnaps and then offers down - and - out eugene a position in his organization .
blossom needs a doctor to patch up gunshot victims that would be problematic at a hospital .
sand 's temptation is that this will give him a chance to practice medicine again albeit illegally , big chunks of cash to fuel his habit and close proximity to the gangster 's womanfriend claire ( angelina jolie ) , this film 's babe factor .
the would - be big time operator is desperately in need of help .
on the run from russian mobsters ( the bad guys that seem to be all the rage in this year 's films ) and trying to cut a pirate software deal with the chinese mafia , blossom is surrounded by blood .
after a few medical misadventures , the physician grows disenchanted with his employment .
an encounter with a couple of psycho surfer dudes who threaten to blow him away unless he " fixes " their dead buddy cements his feeling that he is in the wrong line of work .
when the fbi visits and forces him to become an informant , there is no question that he needs to be somewhere else .
oddly enough , these seem like they could be exciting scenes .
the film disproves that assumption .
then a bunch of other uninteresting things happen .
writing this only two days after seeing the film , its a struggle to remember the events .
you can take that as a solid lack of recommendation .
for all the coolness that duchovny exhibits in " x - files " , it 's a surprise that his big screen presence is
so lacking in charisma .
the doctor is particularly bland and dull .
even the cold turkey bit which is rife with dramatic possibilities come across as banal .
a little chocolate and minor sweats get him through heroin withdrawal .
like virtually everything else in the film , it 's a missed opportunity .
the fox mulder detachment does n't work here .
oscar - winner hutton 's manic mobster is much more difficult to get a handle on .
played partially for comedy and partially as crazed killer , blossom almost becomes real , but then sinks into goofiness .
most of the time hutton looks as if he 's searching for his character and coming up empty .
jolie also makes a few false moves towards creating a three - dimensional human being before giving up and turning into scenery .
the most interesting aspect of her performance is watching her pouty lips threaten to take over the screen .
the rest are n't any better .
michael massee 's eccentric fbi agent never revs up .
one of blossom 's henchmen steals a few moments of the show as a quirky gunman reminiscent of val kilmer 's doc holliday in " tombstone " .
his two - gunned blasting as he does a bizarre dance is the high point of the film .
but that 15 seconds is n't worth sitting through the other 90 minutes .
first time film director andy wilson ( known for his work on the british television series " cracker " ) appears to be attempting to jump on the " pulp fiction " bandwagon .
the best of these movies combine a sense of style and flash with significant substance .
the second - rate ones concentrate on just one of these aspects .
" playing god " does neither well .
the basic idea of the film is solid .
and then it goes nowhere .
even worse , it plods back and forth , up and down a long and winding road before
it ends up nowhere .
fox fails yet again in his search for intelligent life .

on june 30 , 1960 , a self - taught , idealistic , yet pragmatic , young man became , at age 36 , the first head of government of a newly independent african state , formerly the belgian congo .
two months later , he was ousted from his powerful position and hunted by government troops until he was captured and brutally murdered along with two aides .
this little - known story of this meteoric rise and fall is told my international filmmaker raoul peck in " lumumba .
" patrice lumumba 's ( eriq ebouaney ) story has been told previously by helmer peck in his 1991 award winning documentary , " lumumba - death of a prophet , " virtually guaranteeing that his new , fictional account of a patriot remains true to its subject .
peck , with co - writer pascal bonitzer , begins at the end of the story of the young political leader .
we watch as two white men perform the gruesome task of dismembering the bodies of three black men .
images of hatchets , saws and fast - emptying whiskey bottles accompany the grisly image .
jump back a few years to a meeting among the black leaders in the belgian - owned congo .
a third class postal worker , lumumba , speaks his mind to heads of the most powerful tribes , proclaiming himself not tribal , not regional , but a national leader .
his small , mobile party , the congolese national movement ( mnc ) is gaining prominence and patrice leaves his clerical job to sell beer , and get his face known , in the bustling capital , stanleyville .
at a time when the colonial empires are falling down around the world , lumumba is in the right place at the right time and , through political savvy and chess - like manipulation , achieves a position of leadership of the mnc .
as the date for independence approaches , he tactically positions himself to be the new nation 's first prime minister and defense minister , supporting the presidency of joseph kasa vubu ( maka kotto ) .
the coalition he created soon starts to fall apart as the former belgian masters continue to exert influence on the struggling nation as they strive to maintain economic hold on the country 's vast natural resources of copper , diamonds , gold and more .
lumumba wo n't seek the help of the us , knowing that they would try to create de facto american control of the fledgling government .
his initial investigation into soviet assistance immediately tags patrice as a communist and his integrity is overshadowed by the cold war threat of russian domination .
the situation goes from bad to worse as the army mutinies , the remaining whites begin to evacuate or arm themselves , belgian troops violently intervene , the lucrative katanga province succeeds under the leadership of rival moise tschombe ( pascal nzonzi ) and lumumba is refused access to his own country when he returns from a conference abroad .
this tumultuous and little known period of modern african history saw a score of nations struggling for independence from the sometimes - odious colonialists who have ruled much of the world from their european seats of power for centuries .
peck focuses his story on familiar material that strives to give an honest portrayal of patrice lumumba , his friend and foes and the independence movements that gripped africa in the 50 's and 60 's .
( during the time the story takes place , many new nations , including nigeria and somalia , were born , with varying degrees of success and failure , usually dependent upon which country colonized them .
some colonial masters were better than others . )
the effort involved in " lumumba " is quite ambitious as peck and his crew before and behind the camera strive to bring to life this slice of world history that might have gone unexplored for decades , if at all .
production values are first rate on what must be a small , by us standards , budget .
the period feel and realistic african settings are nicely maintained in a production that traveled from zimbabwe to mozambique .
the screenplay covers a lot of ground and does yeoman 's work in providing a great deal of detailed history while trying to do justice to the story of lumumba 's life .
the political side of things is evenly told in a linear , straightforward manner that teaches , not preaches .
it concentrates on the good deeds of the man , if a bit as a stalwart saint , but does n't embellish on a larger than life persona .
the family side of patrice 's life is handled in several , perfunctory and brief interludes that show him talking to one of his children , embracing his wife or lamenting the death of his child .
i know the intent is to flesh the man out , but too short a shrift is given to the family man side of lumumba .
the story , as such , has a lopsided feel about it .
high marks go to eriq ebouaney
as the title character .
the actor gives a convincing , charismatic performance as the multifaceted , politically deft patrice lumumba who has the good of his people and his country as the force driving his own ambitions .
in true docudrama tradition , the supporting cast does not outshine the star , complementing his good efforts , instead .
" lumumba " is a solid , interesting , educational and honest docudrama that should appeal to film buffs and politicos , both .
it has more intelligence in its telling than anything i 've seen out of hollywood for months
and i give it a b+ .
