Better than Horizon Line. A little bit Jaws, a little bit Lifeboat... ...A little bit 5 little Indians. Really not bad at all if you like shark movies. Actors won't win any awards with this one, but a diverse cast and some good eye candy for everyone. Most of the movie takes place on the surface at night so not a lot of gore just your typical top side attacks, and a few free diving moments. But The suspense is there if you're capable of just going with it. Smaller budget than say Open Water 2, yet they managed to pull it off quite nicely in my opinion. I caught it for $3.99 SD from AP and I was not disappointed using that price value, but I wouldn't go any higher. Just keep in mind as I mentioned I'm a sucker for shark movies, but I think it's a pretty good movie to watch late on a Friday night with your buddies. Just don't expect big budget CGI, compared to The Shallows, or 47 Meters Down, nor do they throw in the comedic wise cracks like The Meg. If I had to fault it, and I really don't want to, I'd say the underwater scenes are not of the highest caliber, and again the cast gives a slightly above average acting performance with some performing better than others. Will I purchase the Blu-Ray in the future, yes when it's been out long enough to get the lowest price. (Sorry hyperbole gore lovers you will be disappointed). Solid 6 1/2 for me so I rounded up to 7. Just feel some people are being to hard on it for what it is. Imho a pretty solid second feature.
