directed by Chris Kentis
USA 2003
Based on the true story of a couple on vacation who decide
to go on a paid scuba diving excursion. The boat guide miscounts the head
total and they are left stranded in jellyfish and shark infested waters.
Both characters go through the gamut of emotions in eventual acceptance of
their fate - disbelief, fear, anger and resignation. |

One must take into
account when reviewing the image, that its shot with with DV camera,
which makes bright seem very bright and dark more hazy. There are
problems with focus, but this is to me expected. Having worked with
such, the image is quiet good, but not what one normally expects from a
professional HD camera. But when one compares the DV shots from the
featurettes with the film itself, the image has undergone some
adjustments for theatrically release.
