Has anyone else seen this utter pile of salt water wank?

If you couldn't guess I hated the film, I went into the cinema expecting nothing. And was promptly given 'nothing' by this film. It's incredibly tedious and dragged out (even though it's only 80 minutes). And it just seems they were desperate for things to fill the time, like one part where they're floating....still floating...then:

'ARGH!'
"what? what? what's wrong? What is it?"
'Cramp in my leg'

OH TEH DRAMA!

And I swear to god if I had seen another pointless, pretentious arty farty close up shot of something random i'd have gone beserk and burnt down an orphanage.

Score: 0 out of 5*

However one friend liked it, others seemed too scared to form an opinion on it.

*i'd bump it up to 1 out of 5 if i'd have managed to sneak in a quick wank when the chick was starkers.

What did you expect? It was about what happened to two people left alone in the middle of the ocean and was based on real life events. There wasn't a great deal else that could be done.

I thought the director could have built the tension a little more, but it was a decent enough film and quite enough to stop me from ever scuba diving!

I expected to be entertained, because that's what films are there to do no? Or at least provoke a little thought. In retrospect - and my ever so humble opinion, I don't think this should have been made as a film; because as you say, there isn't a great deal they could do with it. So I was kind of expecting something 'based on' with added jazz or something to spice it up a bit. And did they fire the script writer, hardly any dialogue throughout the film. It was like watching moving holiday snaps. 'Here's man killing a fly' 'Oh here's us buying a hat'

Nor do I go to see films to 'put me off things' Oh no i'm getting the urge to rock climb, shot Cliff Hanger on.

Full top with a touch of muff if you really must know. But it doesn't last long so if you go see it, prepare beforehand and build up to the sprint! :D
