It certainly was nothing like the synopsis. It was boring. It was terrible. It was almost a film of nothing. Judd nelson was on screen maybe 8 minutes woth 8 lines. 1 point cause Casper VD was in it and 1 point because the camera work was fine.

It's not a masterpiece but it had some good points. The story was reasonable, acting not bad, pace good and it has great cinematography. I've seen much worse with higher rating on IMDB

Awful writing, acting, and filmmaking other than the pretty blue water. If this had been a film school project it would have gotten an F.

Predictable. Been done before and better. All the characters were pretty unlikable and you could care less what happened to them. This film had bad acting, poor direction, and amateur camera work. Not worth the time In My Humble Opinion! (minor language, sex scene, no nudity)

Big time spoiler!!!!- predictable....But not unwatchable...idk at the end I just wanted the main dude to say to his *wife* realistically what anyone else would say " this whole thing didn't need to happen?!?!- if only u weren't screwing my friend while I fought in Afganistan for our freedom!!!!!" Then ditch her along with them. Maybe not kill her lol.

"Nothing but open water". Darn, if only my latest reviewed pic was as good as 2003's Open Water. Sigh Anyway, a former Marine, his wife, and his best bud go on a boat trip only to be confronted by a pirate bent on robbing and killing them. That's just the surface with these wishy-washy characters (no pun intended). At ninety evaporating minutes, I give you the snaky and somewhat fizzled out, Dead Water. "Water", with its overhead vessel shots and its one continuous (and confusing) flashback, feels like a low quota thriller with C-list stars you don't "see" much of anymore (Judd Nelson, Casper Van Dien). Part Midnight Crossing I suppose and part 1989's Dead Calm, Dead Water has a couple of neat, puzzle piece twists even though you can see them coming a mile away. Directed by an unknown rookie (Chris Helton), shot in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and featuring a military dog tag throwing scene straight from the annals of "Maverick", "Water" feels all too brief while giving us only a conventional level of torrid strain. Heck, the credit titles "and Judd Nelson" are featured three times within Dead Water. Twice during the movie and once on "Water's" regular poster. It seems fitting because it only reminds us that swindler Nelson was actually in the darn thing. He sleepwalks through his role like a bloodhound on extra strength NyQuil. The other actors are otherwise decent with Russell Crowe lookalike Griff Furst playing the PTSD-laden Marine named David (mentioned earlier). All in all, Dead Water is not really noir, it's not really camp, and it's not in a word, budget extravagant. It's just the type of flick you watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon. "Water" is over before you know it and then that 2:30 nap comes around. Rating: 2 stars.

Was nice to see Judd Nelson & Casper Van Dien in a normal film. For what it's worth its worth checking out.

I gagged myself through it just to see the ending. It was so bad the sharks didn't even come around with blood in the water.
