I'm not a fan of Blake's, but she was highly commendable in this Jaws- On-Steroids survival thriller that reads as though it were based in truth.
As a nursing school dropout haunted and derailed by memories of her moms inevitable demise, she's very good and so is the scripting. She was greatly convincing. Any shortcoming would be due the script. The surfing scenes were pretty good too, not overtly Hollywood, would have liked to have seen more. The faded split-screen for us on the phone was well done too. I love that drunk Mexican on the beach, he was great! 10/10! It doesn't seem likely that the shark would have been so focused on her given their behavioral facts. A shark chewing through any entire steel ocean buoy, for example, reaches hella far, even for the most aggressive species... especially when there's an uncontested whale buffet 100 foot away. Sure, she and others ventured into a feeding ground but why such focused aggression on her - venturing so far as to haunt her for days and take such pain to get her-?! Lots to talk about here.
