An intense and engrossing but ultimately very flawed film that's just passable enough for one viewing...

Reviews for Open Water 2: Adrift
an allegorical commentary (from a non-American director) on the United States, all lost at sea and at odds with itself now that it is under the steerage of an incompetent and deceitful helmsman.
Adrift becomes exactly the sort of DTV sequel we so very often ignore.
Adrift has its moments but it's a frustrating film in many ways and doesn't really work as a thriller unless you're a confirmed hydrophobic. If people meeting unfortunate watery ends is your thing then rent Open Water instead.
