This film was recommended to me as a water-borne "blair witch" but turned out to be a thoroughly depressing hour or so. Not depressed due to the bleakness of the character's situation, but due to the lack of anything interesting occurring. We get an attention-seeking bit of full nudity from the female star, then they go diving. They then meet a list of "likely annoyances in the sea" such as jellyfish, bad weather and sharks. Then they drown. That's it. The whole thing could have been wrapped up as a segment on a reality-TV "disasters at sea" show just as well. To all the pseudo-intellectuals out there who argue that a film doesn't have to follow a formula of action/explosions to be good, I must say if they want folk to listen to that argument then DO NOT cite this uninspired, NOT factual (how can anyone assume what befell them.... they were alone.... they died.... no bodies were found...) piece of cr*p.
