This film should be taken as documented evidence as to why people in Australia should simply not go in the water....
The tension that is built and the bleak helplessness of the protagonists in this film are conveyed so richly that you will find yourself on the edge of whatever seat you are on. The special effects aren't stellar, but they do not really need to be. Most of the shark footage is obviously well filmed stock footage spliced with footage of the protagonists treading water, and it works great.
I absolutely loved this film and would have given it a higher rating were it not for some of the acting. A couple of the characters seem almost wooden and one dimensional, but it did not impact this overall film enough to drag my score for it too far down.
A definite must see for those who like a good thriller or horror flick.
