SUCKIEST ENDING EVER!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this movie review because I HATED this movie. In a nutshell, two people go scuba diving with a group and get left behind by their stupid dive leader. They float in the water and eventually get attacked by sharks and give up and drown. The end.

OMG, this movie was horrible. I just kept waiting for it to get going, and it never did, and then when it ended, it was the worst ending I've ever seen. What a letdown, because Jaws is one of my top ten favorite movies ever, and this movie just completely BLEW. The script was bad, contrived, and camera work was choppy, which I guess I could forgive since it was low budget AND shot on the water. And the random PORN in the beginning of the movie which HELLO wasn't expecting at all...and neither was Janelle, who had brought her younger brother and sisters.

The film is inspired by the 1998 disappearance of Tom and Eileen Lonergan, who were left behind by their diving boat off the coast of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. I found that at the IMDB. And I feel really bad that these poor people's plight was so monstrously told.

Until the next time, this is Sarah saying, "For God's sake, get OUT of this movie!!"
