It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I liked this film very much. The cinematography is amazing. The pace is perfect. This is the first time that I have seen Blake in any film and she is a very talented actress in this. And having her spend most of the time in a bikini, is very easy on the eyes. This type of film is very hard to pull off, well "any" film is hard to pull off in actuality and have it "work", because most of the film you are alone with one character.
The only two flaws that I have were; 1. the overuse of slow-motion 2. The gimic of using real time Cut To slow mo Cut To real time which is as cliche' as using a pop-up window and... 3. the last 2 minutes of her "confrontation" which was Hollywood B-S compared the entire rest of the film which was totally believable. As far as a "film" plot is concerned. Overall well worth watching.

I wanted to like this movie, but it's just so stupid I can't.I love the beautiful bay and the long shots showing how pretty it is. But problem 1: where are the waves? There aren't any! It's clear that the actual surfing shots were filmed elsewhere. Come on... you don't surf on a beach with no waves. Sigh.Other problems:
2. A shark that size bites you, and all you have is a tiny nick in your leg?
3. There's a juicy fat whale carcass right there, but the shark is only interested in bony human beings?
4. That whale carcass appeared out of nowhere? She's been surfing there all day, and suddenly turns her head and it's magically 60 feet away?
5. Why would you try to eat a crab after just a few hours? Just nonsensical.
6. The CGI dolphins were quite bad. But not as bad as the fake wound on her leg. I've seen 1980 horror movies with better blood... and they had a $500 budget.
7. The water is clearly shallow, as you can see in the aerial shots. Yet at the end when she sinks to the bottom, it's suddenly 60+ feet deep?!
8. Holding on to that chain would've ruptured her eardrums in seconds because she wasn't equalizing.
9. That shark is dumb enough to swim full force into the bottom of the ocean?
10. Why is there a buoy there, of all places?
11. Am I supposed to believe a beach this nice is right next to Tijuana, within walking distance of drunks, yet there's nobody there, no garbage, nothing?
12. Something tells me you wouldn't have a 4G connection on that beach to stream video on your phone.Sigh. It's a shot, and it's a miss! Wasted opportunity. Watch a re-run of Jaws instead.

This movie was horrible! I have never wrote a review before and I wish I could specifically comment on someone else's review because that's basically why I'm doing this. Somebody gave this a 10 out of 10! They even went as far as to saying the shark wasn't portrayed as some kind of man eating Beast. But yet it killed everybody it came into contact with. The acting was crappy the storyline was be on predictable and really did they need to throw in her dead mother at the end? Ouch my brain hurts from watching this movie! Do not I repeat do not waste one moment of your life watching this movie. Watch thankskilling instead.

I do not agree with the negative reviews of this film. Yes, you can debate the technical aspects of high and low tide together with ocean currents and depths and shark behaviour all day but this is a movie and not a science documentary. I hadn't heard of this film and so I was not sure what to expect. I was however hooked from the very beginning and found it very enjoyable. There have been films that are similar to the classic 'Jaws" over the years but this film brought back memories of watching Jaws as a child. The camerawork, pace and characters are superb and I found myself constantly trying to work out the characters next move. As I say, it is easy to pick faults in the technical aspects of a film and it might not be to everyone's taste but I very much enjoyed watching this and would certainly recommend it.
