Open Water (2003)
6/10
A bit choppy
20 January 2005
Chris Kentis directed his second movie, after the Billy Crudup-led disaster that was "Grind", about a couple who misses their boat and has to fend for themselves, contending with sharks, barracudas, puke, diarrhea and lack of food or water. Think of this as a "Blair Witch project", but in the water, better dialog, and you know, actually good. Come to think of it, this isn't like the abysmal Blair Witch film at all. The dialog seems authentic enough, even if the main character's decisions of what to do don't. It kept my attention, and for a low-budget film that's enough for me. Oh and plus Susan Ryan is Hot with a capital H.

My Grade: C+

DVD Extras: Commantary with Susan Ryan and Daniel Travis; Second commentary with Chris Kentis and Laura Lau; The Indie Essentials featurette; Making-of; On-location footage; 7 Deleted Scenes; and theatrical Trailer

Eye Candy: Susan Ryan shows it all and it's so VERY good
