Probably more realistic than Open Water, but realism doesn't always translate into goodness. There are multiple scenes where absolutely nothing happens, and several others that are simply repeats of former ones. Also, (other than the ship captain) the characters were utterly annoying. Yes, I suppose that's how my best friend's ditzy sister would react when she began to panic...but that doesn't mean I want to watch it for 90 minutes.

`open water` with 2 couples, more intense shark attack scenes that look real...

Thankfully doesn't go for "camp" at all. A serious, subdued, and simple movie that's good at building tension and dread. If the same movie was made in America (today) it would be loud, stupid and obnoxious.

A shark movie like every other shark movie. I haven't watched that many shark movies.

A slow opening and build up leads to some genuinely tense moments in the middle but it all ends too quickly with unresolved issues.

This could have been called "Open Water 2." Similar premise, except tension (and shark count) ratcheted WAY up. Great stuff.
