Review of Open Water 2: Adrift (2006) by George E — 04 Jan 2010

Don't watch this film expecting a "gripping thriller" or anything like that. It's not even a thriller film. Dunno why it's put in that section in the video store. I actually watched this expecting a horror film, and I thought the horror would've ruined it. But it was not even a horror/thriller, it was actually an intense drama film and that's what ruined this film (too much annoying drama scenes/crying). This film is definitely a survival film in the vein of Titanic, Cast Away and other films featuring people lost out somewhere. It's also a little disaster-ish type of film in some ways, but not even a thriller.

Anyways, I thought the film was stupid and boring. The ending is probably one of the worst I've ever seen. What the hell happens!? And how stupid that mother is, leaving her baby and rescuing the guy that was responsible for everything. The characters were so annoying, maybe except for the main one (the mother).
