Open Water

[Fierce Critter]

This is going to fall under my "I'm not terribly critical of movies - I see them as entertainment" category of reviews.

I enjoyed it, but wasn't blown-away by it. I do recommend it. Keep in mind it's short (80 minutes) by today's standards of movies running well past 90 minutes. It's entertaining, and somewhat thought-provoking.

The ending surprised me. Won't spoil it, though. But it made me want to research the news item that inspired the story to see how the real story ended.

There were a couple things that got me pissed. Several instances of, "I really think I would have done x, x or x rather than just bob around waiting for something to happen."

Extras are scant. Not terribly necessary for those of us who still don't mind renting VHS, but sometimes hold-out for the DVD for extra's sake.

I seen it too when it first came out. I found myself also thinking.. well I would of done this or that.. but I think the movie was purely based on speculation since there is really no way for anyone to know what exactly happened. Very good though. I did some research as well after wards.
