Why watch this? Another great film example of "you don't want to be stranded on the sea".

Plot Summary: Five friends embark on a sailing trip to Indonesia when their boat capsizes after hitting a reef. Stranded in the open ocean, they face a harrowing decision: swim to a distant, unseen island or remain clinging to the wreckage. As they attempt to reach land, the group finds themselves relentlessly stalked by a great white shark, turning their desperate journey into a terrifying fight for survival.

Dad's Preview: Similar to Open Water (2003), this well-done Australian film is about four friends who venture to scuba dive off the coast of the Great Barrier reef... then their boat capsizes. You can imagine what happens. Every second of this movie is unnerving. And it's based on a true story. Yikes!
