Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBlake Lively only had a stunt double for the surfing scenes as she couldn't surf professionally, "All I did was paddle" she recalled, her surfing stunt double was professional Australian Surfer 19 year old Isabella Nichols, she taught Blake how to paddle correctly, how to wax a board and put a leg rope on and fins in to make it look authentic.
- GoofsAs all experienced surfers (as Nancy clearly is) would know, a whale carcass is almost guaranteed to attract sharks. Coming across one, a surfer would have hightailed it back to shore as fast as possible to avoid becoming part of a buffet. They would not move in for a closer look and hang about ogling it.

Featured review
For the most part, riveting
I have a couple of issues with this film (occasionally too much CGI, and a weird ending) but for the majority of its brief, 86-minutes-long run, this is a riveting film, exquisitely filmed in the Gold Coast of Australia, about a survivor of a shark attack clinging to life, figuratively and literally, on the side of a rock 200 feet from shore, with the shark still circling the waters.
Normally watered down PG13-rating gives way to some surprisingly grisly bursts of gore, as she tries to suture her wounds with makeshift surgical tools, and a couple of brutal attack scenes.
The film makes the most of a small cast, and Blake Lively carries the film almost entirely herself, spending at least two thirds of the film completely isolated. Well, she's not completely alone, she also has Steven "Sully" Seagull, as himself.
