A boring, dull, exercise in testing the audience's patience, which goes way beyond the breaking point, and I felt like I gained nothing from the experience.

There are some good scenes in here, and some interesting ideas are tossed around, but as a narrative feature, the final vision is not clear, it's listless, and at the end, I just couldn't help but wonder what the point of it all was.

Taut, scary, and a very intense ride, this may well be the best conventional shark attack film since the very first "Jaws" film.

Sometimes entertaining, but mostly a bore, this is a pure example of what happens when you throw millions of dollars at a project, and you allow the visuals drown out the story and characters.

A modern day retelling of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," this film has some good ideas, but ultimately does little with its premise, as it struggles to find an identity among the other countless retellings of the same story.

Unsure of itself, and a script with no vision, this film is broadly inspired by Franz Kafka, but doesn't have the talent to make it work, the acting is subpar, and the twist ending is a cheap cop-out, with an excessively cruel ending to add salt to the wound.
