I watched this movie 'cause I was expecting to watch a good crime drama but it was not. This is coming-of-age drama with some of crime elements. The main characters are kids and their performance was very good and convincing. The title "Mud" is not only the name of a fugitive, acted by Matthew McConaughey whose acting skills are great as always but also it may refer as harsh life of their families and the small island on Mississippi river where was the plot about in this movie. The atmosphere of the location is filmed very well and certainly this movie has high artistic values but main problem is a leak of plot. Characters are very good depicted but the plot could've been much better. The second half of the movie was a flat out and the end was predictable. A woman character played by Reese Witherspoon is spared and even pointless in some moments. She said just about ten sentences in whole movie or less. Shooting scenes at the end were unrealistic and even funny for this kind of a movie... After all this is not as bad movie as some of the reviewers wrote down but maybe you won't be just satisfied enough after watching it.

Many critics and horror fans consider this movie as a masterpiece of horror and a cult following but I really don't understand them. The story is pointless and shallow. Actually, there is no plot here except few sentences which attempted to do so just to explain us what was director up to. This movie is so boring! Dialogs are senseless because of the shallow background. Actors are so bad like they where picked up somewhere out in the streets and imposed to do job called acting. Horror scenes are so bad and made me puke. The most stupid and laughable horror scene is when one of the main protagonists is shooting zombies. Even he noticed how to kill them (by shooting in the head), he proceed to shoot them in the other parts of the body regardless of the lack of bullets. I think that was idea of the director just to waste more time filming nonsense. I notice just one light moment in this movie. It is the music that follows all these bloody ,goring and frighting scenes. Somehow perfect matches the atmosphere of the movie and is very unusual for horror genre.It is disco with classic,jazz and folk elements. At the end I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. You'll fall a sleep before the end.
