Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBlake Lively only had a stunt double for the surfing scenes as she couldn't surf professionally, "All I did was paddle" she recalled, her surfing stunt double was professional Australian Surfer 19 year old Isabella Nichols, she taught Blake how to paddle correctly, how to wax a board and put a leg rope on and fins in to make it look authentic.
- GoofsAs all experienced surfers (as Nancy clearly is) would know, a whale carcass is almost guaranteed to attract sharks. Coming across one, a surfer would have hightailed it back to shore as fast as possible to avoid becoming part of a buffet. They would not move in for a closer look and hang about ogling it.

Featured review
One of the best shark movies.
Absolutely bloody fantastic! The photography is amazing, the location is breathtaking, Blake Lively's performance is incredible and the entire production is fantastic! Nerve-wreckingly suspenseful and brilliant! The scenery is great and wonderfully photographed, so its best viewed on Blu Ray.
