To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Open Water is shot in an almost documentary style and with two part-time actors. Do not let these facts deter you from catching this movie wherever you can. The film is based on a true story about two scuba divers(couple) who happen to get left behind by their tour boats in shark infested waters. You know the ending of the story but the lead up to it is an exercise in creating and maintaining tension. The film is also great for budding filmmakers on how to make a cheap but good film- this was made for a mere 120,000 dollars. Do not miss it, even if you have a fear of sharks.

Crap! Complete waste of time! Nothing else to be said!
I tuned into this at 1 a.m.in the morning, desperate to watch something that would hold my interest, and this turned out to be worth it. I wasn't expecting Jaws, nor did I get anything remotely similar, but it is on equal footing with "The Shallows"--another stranded-at-sea-in-the -midst- of -sharks film. By no means predictable, the film seemed intentionally truncated (only 1 hr.20min.) to keep from dragging. But there is enough tension built to keep you leaning forward in anticipation, and no "danger approaches music" to hype the scene. The ending delivers the goods and carries over into the credits. Overall, a good effort.
