Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: At 1hr 2min 30 seconds into the film, a female character is floating face-up in the water. In the context of the story, she is supposed to be entirely nude. However, the camera inadvertently shows the skin-colored modesty patch that the actress is using to cover her right nipple.

Quotes:

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

It had me on the edge of my seat

I disagree with many negative comments. I really enjoy the experience the film had created. While I was watching it, I felt like I was in the water with them and tried to help them figure out what to do. I can see how the situation make these people do what they do. Yes, they did many stupid things, but remember, in a real situation like this people tend to get nervous and panic and do many things that make the situation worse.

I think this film has many flaws but they didn't bother me because the tension it created is enough for me to enjoy the film. And actually, I can imagine something like this happen in reality. The emotional part of the film is good as well. I like the way the camera works when Amy's husband is dying, when drop of water like tears falling into the sea. I like it when James confess the whole truth about everything. I was so moved, so involved into this film.

But,still, I was confused by the ending. That's why it's a 9 not a 10.
