Not As Bad As The Cover Implies
28 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The concept alone is good. And believable, with water resources experiencing an ever growing demand and so becoming a more likely target for attack. Although the story seems to jump between different messages it does come together well and particular praise must go to how the film hints at human nature.

This movie makes you think, not because of the complexity of the storyline. Everything is pretty straight forward, but it puts your mind into the situation the characters are experiencing, makes you wonder how you would react and in some manner makes you more weary of water supply. What would we do if we no longer had access to something as simple as drinking water? I must point out, the reason it is not as bad as the cover implies? It IS exactly what it says on the cover but what it says on the cover isn't very much. The cover (in the UK anyway) gives the impression of a very low budget, badly scripted plot, but we know we shouldn't judge by the cover right? Apart from jerky filming, and yes a lot of close ups, it's not too bad at all. Definitely worth the watch, just expect less suspense and more pondering.
