I thought this movie was brilliant.
There couldn't have been a better choice of actors for this particular dark comedy in my opinion.
Jodie Foster attacks this role with as much passion as to be expected from her; that is to say, she lives well within most of her roles.
John C. Reilly is a favourite of mine, so I tend to be biased. One generally knows what to expect from him, and he almost always guarantees a few great laughs for acting a man's man's lowest common denominator.
Both Winslet and Waltz hold their upper class roles in perfect form.
This is a classic film portrayal of the adult child that lurks just beneath our "evolved" selves.
Don't expect great scenery or physical action from this little gem. This is brilliance in dialogue, an exploration of the urban human condition, and a fantastic example of character development.

This was a good stab at a shark thriller.
I was actually pretty impressed with a few of the actors. Mind you I find a lot of Australian films to have really decent acting in them even with unknowns, regardless of the plot.
An original concept for a shark movie, good use of lighting and tension, and a few nice little plot twists.
A great balance of antagonists and protagonists in a "bunch of strangers" stranded setting.
The filming quality and mechanics of the feature are superior to the budget spent, in my opinion.
I found this to be a not bad at all Friday night watch. Great "BAGGAPOPCORNER" if you are in one of those moods where you aren't sure what to watch.

This film was pretty well done, and on an impressively low budget.
Once the film gets rolling, there are some pretty good "creepy" scares. Not too many of the make you jump type scares, but ones that give a bit of the skin crawl.
Early in the film though, there is so much loud dialogue and over-acting from the actors that it really takes away from one of the greatest elements of horror and horror cinematography: ambient sound.
Far too much needless argument and banter between characters early in the set.
The rest of the film is well done, and the director makes good use of low light for effect, and they picked a great setting for the film to take place.
6/10
