Well I will be the first here to say I really enjoyed it
I was left out 25miles at sea about three years ago off the coast of Cuba so I can relate I guess.
I can also see why most would say it sucked, but until your in a situation like this, it's just not the avarage day in the water.
I was told by my diving instructor that we would have to swim and I said there's no way I could swim 25miles, his reply "we wouldn't make it all the way but we would have a better
chance of being picked up by a passing boat". From that moment on I thought I was done-fish food, also from that point on everything runs through one's mind and that's what they tried and did portray in the movie. While I was swimming in deep cool water every thought crossed my mind like: who's gonna feed my fish, who's gonna pay my car payments, who's fault was this, how could I be so stupid, etc.... That's why I liked this movie, not because of it's lack of crazy stunts, spectacular special effects, or years of dramatic writting more for the fact that it told a story that is truly frightening when you put yourelf in "there fins". This is also a very low budget indie movie, not some big block buster from Warner Bros that cost millions to make.
If anyone is interested in reading about my event, let me know and I can paste it on here, it may help some of you realize that life is pretty precious.
