After loosing their boat, the characters in this film need to swim a really long distance to get to an island. They basically just float around during the entire film. There is no sense of urgency to save their lives. The characters reacted so poorly, i actually had anxiety watching this one. In the end i was rooting for the shark
First, i think twice before giving 10/10 The moment the two people reaching the island is like an happy end, but a few seconds later it reveals only the female stays safe there. The number of survivors is going down with every attack, but i miss some facts. how far was that island away? How many hours did it take till sunset on the ocean? It is scary to swim across an abyss of mile deep ocean water, and then there is the exhaust of the physical activity. The wounds do look painful. In the wild, an open wound can lead to death without treatment. this is a story from real life which is not overloaded with greenscreen effects like "komodo".
Entertaining movie. Hated the ending though, Shark wasn't the villain, The woman who survived was. Luke saved her but That stupid lady let him die cause she wasn't feeling well so her laziness killed Luke. That woman ruined the movie. since its based on true story, and if in real it happened the same.. then i hate that surviving woman. Selfish, lazy, whore.
The description I read about this movie indicated that it was supposed to be exciting, with a lovely splash of gore, yet this movie could not be any thing farther from that. The characters (and actors that play them) are stiff, and when their time does come, I felt little remorse (because of how robotic the people seemed to be). Please do not waste your time watching this movie. It is anti-climatic and the ending is anything but satisfying. I noticed it has a 5.8 on IMDb, but frankly, it deserves closer to a 3.0. Total disappointment, and a shame to all shark movies out there.The movie is based on true events, and my heart goes out to the victims of such terrible events. Yet, the execution of this supposed true story not only fails to emphasize the gravity of the horror, but completely lacks in the execution, making me think that this story should have never been told (in the form of this movie).
