When I first read about this film during Sundance coverage, it reminded me of a harrowing news story from Bill Bryson's book In A Sunburned Country. I'm a scaredy-cat when it comes to terror movies (and don't even try to get me to go to a genuine horror movie) so I'll more than likely skip this one. But the premise and the way they filmed it are at least sorta original. Have to give them credit for that. Hmmm...but how about that featured quote from Edge Boston at RT?

I can't wait to see this! They have been talking a lot about it on a local radio station here.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think a movie about two people in the middle of nowhere for two hours would be a bore unless it is a really good movie?

Kind like the premise of Castaway with Tom Hanks?

Castaway was diffrent. He was on an island. Things can happen on an island.In this movie its just people in the middle of the water. The only thing that could happen is a shark attack or a storm and because this movie doesn't use any special fx, there isn't going to be any storm.

Yes, but unless it is any good, it is an hour and twenty minutes of people floating.

I read a review on it. Said it is terrifying. The sharks in the water are real. The couple is a couple in real life. The woman got bitten by a stingray at one point and there was blood in the water. Said you could see their fear is real. I dunno though,haven't seen it.

I almost didn't even say I'd seen it because honestly, I thought it was tedious and didn't like it much. After a while I got tired of water water water, and I was not frightened. (But then again I have dived with sharks and don't have a big fear of them -- and I wasn't frightened by Blair Witch either.) I'm sorry I can't offer a more detailed, thoughtful post. I wouldn't say that it's not worth seeing, though, because I think it was just my own personal preference. The reviews certainly have been good.

Well I saw it. My opinion? Flip a coin if you're trying to decide to see it.
