Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Sharks are nature's most efficient killing machines. Open Water, which co-stars sharks, is the summer cinema's most efficient scaring machine.
Considered in its ham-handed entirety, Open Water feels more of an exercise in cinematic sadism.
Terrifying precisely because it doesn't go in for cheesy shock tactics and special effects.
The unforgiving power of nature are all on display to amazing, and frightening, effect.
