Dead Water

Dead Water starts with a combat veteran, his wife, and the brother of the veteran's best friend going on a multi-day trip on the friend's fancy boat. (The best friend died in combat.)

Whew! Now, personal tension between all three occurs, of the pesky superficial kind. The characters act in one fashion and then flip suddenly. But, did something happen when our combat veteran was away?

Well, all of that doesn't matter. The plot has only minor things to do, and it's written so poorly that the scenes jump in the middle of themselves from drunk fun to caustic accusations.

And to make matters worse, there is another plot that is inane. And doesn't need any description here as it will be obvious when it first peeks its head above water. (Get it? A movie on the ocean? Water?)

Acting is fair to poor, but it may also be related to how bad the dialogue is. If you are watching this for Judd Nelson, I'd pass as he has a small role that has no depth, and is really a throw away of a role.

Dead Water is dead 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

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.

Predictable. Been done before and better. All the characters were pretty unlikable and you could care less what happened to them. This film had bad acting, poor direction, and amateur camera work. Not worth the time In My Humble Opinion! (minor language, sex scene, no nudity)

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.
