What would it be like to trapped in the great outdoors? This movie provides one idea. Left in the ocean due to human error, a married couple must now deal with the consequences.
What the makers really did well was capturing the sense of isolation for the couple. A lot of scenes really went out of their way to show the vast expanse of the ocean, which created an effect of the couple being small and insignificant. It serves as a reminder that we might be at the top of the food chain, but that position is not fixed; all it takes is one botched headcount and you are at Mother Nature's mercy.
While I classify this as a thriller, this is not a standard one; the conflict is mostly psychological, as the couple tries to keep their hopes up in face of these overwhelming set of circumstances. Filmgoers looking for something big, scary and gory should look elsewhere.
