It was filmed in the Bahamas which is just too close to home. The Miami Herald, besides the vulgar language and nudity warnings also listed &quot;shark-relateden-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/260945?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 09 Aug 2004 05:01:15 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:6335d6f3-47fe-4579-a1b0-6aa4529c1edbFormer MemberDon&#39;t know about the movie but during yesterday&#39;s swim (9 mile coastal swim) I saw a huge shark down deep and swam up close to the support boats for a while. Everyone was al ittle jumpy, Later a plane flew overhead pulling a trailer for &quot;open water&quot; with a big shark on it (although ti looks more like a fish than a shark to me) I yelled to me paddler look a shark in teh air, he misunderstood and almsot got me pulled fomr the water in the ensuing panic before finally looking up and laughing. I think I have to see that movie!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/260962?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 09 Aug 2004 03:42:46 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:9fcdf297-e538-4ba4-ba5c-ecfc6817acbaJim ClemmonsThe movie has received &quot;thumbs up&quot; from both Ebert and Roeper due to the &quot;emotional drain&quot; aspect.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/260939?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 06 Aug 2004 02:45:31 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b8c829e0-b213-49aa-a3c4-3fcbefee2aefknelsonI guess the actual event the movie is (loosely) based on happened on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. From what I&#39;ve read there&#39;s no evidence that the divers were killed by sharks, but that&#39;s Hollywood for you :) It looks like it could be good, but I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll wait for the DVD.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
