Review of Ulee's Gold (1997) by Paul G — 28 Jun 2011

Ulee's Gold is a good drama picture, featuring Peter Fonda in his greatest role since Easy Rider. This is the story about the beekeeper Ulee Jackson (Fonda) who's taking care of his two grand children Penny (Vanessa Zima) and Casey (Jessica Biel) while their father is in jail after entending a robbery, and their mother have left them because of her drug addiction. One day Ulee gets a phone call from his son in prison who tells him that who mad have taken care of his wife, but that isn't for free, they demands are that Ulee shows them where the money from the robbery is or else they going to kill Ulee and his family.

Ulee's Gold is a good movie, but not the best one. But I must admit it is very stimulating watching Ulee keep on with his work as a Beekeeper, watching him and some times his closes helps him. Peter Fonda does his life preformance in this picture, he's a bussy soul, a queen bee who takes care of all it's offspring. Thumbs up.
