Aro Recommended Open Water

 

USA 2003, 77 minutes
Dir. Chris Kentis
Rating: [M]
Genres: Suspense/Crime / Independent

Topics: Maritime.

 

Aroview: An admirable independent film that broke through to the multiplexes, this ocean-peril thriller reliably whitens the knuckles with its candid realism and intimate sense of danger (the sharks are not fake!).

Apparently based on a true incident where a couple never returned to the boat on a diving expedition, the "what if?" scenario mounts its tension through character intimacy, a ticking clock and a panic button always close at hand. It also comes with an ending that was obviously not sanctioned around a Hollywood boardroom table.
