Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: Because they used their shorts to make a robe, they are all naked, but when Dan swims out to look for Michelle, it's clear that he's wearing shorts. A second later, and in the same scene, he's not.

Quotes:

James: Our daughter is scarred for life. She'll either grow up to be oddly attracted to Popeye, or a lesbian.

Loved It ......

I seem to be in a bit of a minority here, but I loved 'Open Water", thought it was one of the best low budget films to date, and made me fear the ocean all over again ...(thanks "Jaws"!!). So I was pretty excited when I saw this on the shelf, had no qualms shelling out some dosh, and I am so pleased that I did ... Possibly even better than the first, talented (if fairly unknown) actors, and just a great premise ..... I can see how something like this might happen,a stupid mistake that can have very real consequences, and while I was sitting comfortably on my chair in my lounge, thinking "you should try this or try that", (which they mostly did anyway), I'm sure thinking logically whilst bobbing about in the very cold ocean is not so easy ..... I loved it, made me squirm, had to look away at times, and really felt for all the characters and their different ways of dealing (or not) with the situation ..... A great film.
