Very tense and thrilling

The Reef is a good film it works the way a true thriller should, it doesn't reveal its hand all at once but instead builds and builds.

The characters are well played by a great Aussie cast all the actors are very believable and likable. Unlike Open Water in The Reef you do get to see a shark in fact its a very big and dangerous shark. The shark parts of the film are handle extremely well.

Based on a true event, The Reef feels very real. This sense of reality makes this shark film scary indeed it's what makes it stand above most other shark films. For me it sits somewhere between Open Water and Jaws.

Definitely worth checking out.
