Diagonaldi Very well executed

Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

lorraineesimpson I'm not sure if I could really say I enjoyed this film but I certainly admired it, and in particular Redford's performance. He really carried it although as he was the only actor I guess he really had to! However, his performance was great and the lack of dialogue meant he had to convey his emotions with his face and body language, and he achieved that well. I've also read that Redford did much of the stunt work himself which increases my admiration of his work. For a man his age he must be extremely fit!I've often wondered, when you hear about people being lost at sea, what actually happened. What must it be like to fight for your survival against all the odds. I think this film addresses that struggle quite effectively, and manages to create real tension in the viewer. It's all very well done I think, and I loved the camera shots from underneath. My only real criticism of this film is that I think it a bit unrealistic that he wouldn't actually have talked to himself! I mean - surely he would, we all do don't we? Or is it really just me?!

s-waring84 I dont usually write reviews, infact i've never actually written a movie review before, but this movie seriously compelled me to write one! Now im no sailor, in fact, ive only ever been on a boat a handful of times in my life, but i can see the glaringly obvious mistakes Robert Redford's character makes.. Firstly, who has a shave right before a storm breaks out whilst you've a hole in your boat? he then puts the emergency storm rig on WHILST the storm is in full swing. surely you'd do that before a major storm hit? His character then gets dragged into the water and at which point im actually hoping he drowns as his stupididly is beginning to wear on me. Robert then hops back on the boat and puts his rain hood up due to the storm and it's raining .. after just being completely submerged in the ocean.. just stupid... I got 35 minutes into this movie before i had to turn it off and write this review. Awful awful movie!

wmolony It was ALMOST too much. What could go wrong did go wrong. From one thing to the next it was a little unbelievable, but you have to stay watching hoping he comes out ok in the end...still not sure if it's a plausible story line or just multiple true stories combined into one drama.

ico_mate_vt Hi, I cannot imagine a movie without a single word for almost an hour, from a big actor. The idea is good but i expected much more interesting and twisted story. Really big disappointment for me. I would never recommend this movie. I wish I've seen much more dynamic scene and provocative situations.
