"Was that a shark?"
"I don't know. I think it was a dolphin."
"No, it wasn't a dolphin, because if it was you would be over there playing with it!"
Review: I really enjoyed this movie, but several people I have talked to didn't. It seems that they were expecting a scary shark movie when this film is really an excellent character study on how people cope with abandonment in the middle of the ocean and how they face the fact that they may die. It is interesting to observe the characters move though the different stages of emotion as the day wears on.
"AAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! Unbelievable!!! This is truly un-fucking-believable! And the best part is that WE PAID to do this! We paid to be out here! We paid those incompetent fuckers to drop us out in the middle of the fucking ocean! We wanted an ocean-view. BOY, DID WE GET IT! Those fuckers. GOD!"
"You feel better?"
"I wouldn't exactly call it better."
