“Andrew Traucki director of croc flick Black Water (2007)  hones his skills in this tense shark flick that makes Open Water look like Open season.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is simple, a boat becomes wrecked, and all but one of a group of five friends try to swim their way across the reef to a small island.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s well filmed with no dodgy special effects in sight. The script is natural and is not forced or cheesy, the hand held camera work is effective and not a shaky mess. This is no low budget schlock. Itu0026#39;s taught film making, wonderfully shot with some fantastic edge of the seat primal fear, courtesy of a real Great White Shark. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s no Jaws, but as a basic survival film it works a treat. Shark lovers like myself will eat this up.”
