Dead Water

Was nice to see Judd Nelson & Casper Van Dien in a normal film. For what it's worth its worth checking out.

We went to the "World Premiere" of this movie along with 30 or so others. It's a distinctly average action picture set mostly in the middle of the ocean on high end boat.

The acting and production are OK, but the film is let down by its structure and its general lack of suspense. I think it is supposed to a mixed genre film: action/suspense. A fundamental problem is that the action really only comes in the third act. The low budget for the film means that the action is of relatively low impact. Another fundamental issue is the lack of suspense in the movie. One of the main characters is obviously a sleaze-ball, so there is no surprise later when he isn't what he seems.

There is a lot of scenes of the high end boat which really could be taken directly from the manufacturer's sales video. One of these is used twice in the movie!

Ok to watch if you are streaming one evening, though frankly there are better things to watch.

I gagged myself through it just to see the ending. It was so bad the sharks didn't even come around with blood in the water.

It's not a masterpiece but it had some good points. The story was reasonable, acting not bad, pace good and it has great cinematography. I've seen much worse with higher rating on IMDB

Just dont waste your time with this film. A very boring lead up to an already used (at least 100 time) plot. Total waste of time and quite insulting to watch. This movie is something perhaps an amateur with a little money can make. Very bad all around. The female Brianne Davis was such a horrible actress that it made me sorry to waste my time watching this poor film.
