Music video director Declan Whitebloom should stick to music videos. Even for a low budget B film, this was the most repetitive, dragged out film I have seen in a long time. Even the editing was bad. We go from a little girl swimming in knee-high water to drowning in the depths of the ocean. How? Did she trip over a rock and fall into the deep dark abyss? The same ariel scene of a boat sitting in the ocean was used many times, when it was supposed to be a moving boat.
The cat and mouse searches on the boat were just bland and repetitive. The entire story was riddled with plot and technical issues and predictable from the start. You could trim the slow dragged out 90 min runtime to a 15 min short film and it would me more watchable and interesting. Whitebloom also didn't direct his cast properly, because most of the time they looked lost in their scenes.
The only redeeming part of this B film was a half-decent score, when B films usually have a loud constant annoying and unfitting score. I feel bad for Grillo, because he deserves to be in much better films. Only he and Schwarzenegger were convincing. Rose seemed like this was her first acting role. Any review higher than a 5 is clearly from the cast or crew. It's a generous 3/10 from me.
