Product Description
Based on a harrowing true story... A weekend cruise aboard a luxury yacht goes horribly awry for a group of old high school friends who forget to lower the ladder before they jump into the ocean for a swim. The boat proves impossible to climb, leaving them adrift, miles from shore. As the reality of the situation sinks in, the friends begin to turn on each other. Soon the exhaustion of keeping afloat and the struggle to get back on board begin to take a terrible toll. What started as a joyful reunion becomes a fight for survival!

I recently watched this one. It started out as a decent movie, but just seemed to drag on and on. An hour would have been plenty of time to tell the story. It wasn't completely awful, but I wouldn't go as far to say it was worthwhile either. The ending was a complete disaster.

Now why exactly did you recently watch this? The first movie was horrendous, I'm just wondering what would make you see the sequel?

In the "sequel" thread we baited him to see it and he said this:

This one sounds really good, but I'll have to watch the 1st one first...

So, Bada - did you see the first one also?

They need to make an "Open Water" "Jaws" crossover flick.

Come on Chaplin, you have to have noticed by now that I enjoy watching garbage just as much as the classics.

Yeah, I thought the first one was actually a decent movie. Had a neat little low budget type feel to it.

Fixed that for you.

You thought Open Water was decent? Wow. Of course it had a neat little low budget type feel to it--it WAS a low budget movie!

I just saw this on ON Demand, about 6 of us watched it varying from 12 years old to my Girlfriend's parents in their early 60's, we all liked it. Definitely better than the first one.

Fairly early on I said they should use the knife to get a hold on the side so they can climb up over someone else. That was before they showed that square on the side which I knew was the stairs they were supposed to have opened. Not a great movie but I thought it was suspenseful. Supposed to be based on real events not entirely sure how much.

Since I fish in Mexico every year I can somewhat relate although we're in pangas not yachts so it'd be easier(but not easy) to get back in.

I guess I liked how quickly the characters started to break down and lash out at each totally human nature thing.

I liked the first one okay. It wasn't great, but alright, IMO.

Basically it was the pre-cursor to "I Shouldn't Be Alive," ...except they weren't by the end.
