Open Water - 5

This is a different kind of movie, which is why it won awards at Sundance 2004. It was filmed on digital video over weekends and vacations with only the two writer/directors and two main unknown actor. It is a pretty intense suspense movie, more realistic and better than Jaws. It is based on a true story. It is interesting to see the dialogue that goes on between this husband and wife, especially as they begin to think that there lives are coming to an end. It also shows how fragile life is. It asks the fundamental question what do you care about most in life?
