"That's a terrible way to say thank you." - Nancy, to the gull, Sully, at it bites her finger

Why watch this? Unlucky is the surfer who becomes the sole target of an apex predator.

Plot Summary: After the recent loss of her mother, Nancy, a medical student, travels to a secluded beach for some solace and to surf in a spot her mother once visited. While surfing, she is attacked by a great white shark and finds herself stranded on a small rock formation, wounded and only 200 yards from the shore. Nancy must use her wits and limited resources to survive the shark's relentless attacks and find a way back to safety.

Dad's Preview: In films of this ilk, it's always a bad idea when an adventurous young person to decide to take off, tell no one and venture to a secluded place to do x. In this case, "x" is ocean surf. Our heroine, Nancy, is catching some waves when a giant shark targets her. She briefly escapes to a rock 200 yards from shore. So begins a game of survival for the young med student. The tide is coming in, so the rock will be underwater soon. It's harrowing, but she's intelligent and resourceful. Can she survive?
