The CinePearl Take
Lively carries the entire narrative with a blend of vulnerability and fierce determination, making the audience feel every wave of panic. Collet‑Serra’s tight pacing never lets the tension dip, while the minimalist setting amplifies the dread of the unseen predator. Though the supporting cast is thin, the film’s visual storytelling and sound design turn the ocean into a relentless antagonist.
