47 METERS DOWN

Plot:

When sisters Lisa (Moore) and Kate (Holt), get together to reunite for a vacation on the tropical beaches of an island in Mexico. Lisa who has just experienced a traumatic breakup from her live in boyfriend is encouraged by her younger sister to be daring and wild, with hopes that will help to take her mind off the past. The two woman eventually agree to go off to an unauthorized tourist excursion with two island natives, to go cage diving among giant killer sharks. Again reluctant Lisa is talked into getting in the cage on a old rusted ship manned by Captain Taylor (Modine), who assure the women that all will be just fine. Things start out wonderful at first until the old, corroded cable cord and winch breaks and the two sisters are dropped to the ocean bed at a depth of 47 meters. With limited oxygen, no communication and huge killer sharks circling around the cage, the women must console each other so that neither doesn't panic causing the usage of much needed air or any bad decisions.


Reel Talk:

Now at the end I said bad decisions, but this is a film with nothing but awful bad decisions. I spent probably the entire film screaming at how crazy these two woman were for the decisions they were choosing. I am sorry but movies like this are just foolish because although we may make unwise choices, I truly find it hard to believe that not one person in this film can make just one rational choice. Go see this at your own risk if you want to risk the money. This is one you can really wait and catch on cable.
