Layman movie review: OPEN WATER



OH MY GOD! I was soooooo sad when the two lead characters died at the end of "Open Water."

Open Water is the harrowing account of a pair of divers, a couple, who get stranded after their dipshit diving instructor miscounts people on his boat. This poor couple has to spend an hour of screen time just dogpaddling and freaking out, though their ordeal takes much longer in movie time. They get stung by jellyfish and nipped at by little sharks, and try to hail distant passing boats, while the sharks grow bigger and bolder until, well... things get ugly. Anyway, I don't want to give away too much of the movie, so you may not want to read on, because Spoiler Warnings Apply:


The place where the divers are abandoned is... (Spoiler!)

Damn you and your spoilers, Layman. I thought the movie was about being attacked by fresh water sharks.

I love this movie because It has a excellent plot,Not long after the boat leaves, Daniel and Susan return to the surface and look for it. They see a boat, presumably the dive boat, gradually receding away in the distance.I think that Blanchard Ryan is a great actor, I love the production and direction of this movie!22dd
