The imprudence of some young accidentally cause someone's death. Except it didn't happen last summer. A couple (boy and girl) go to a trip with two other horny males. Guess what? Of course, the other guys want the pretty girl and that provokes lots of fights. Thought we couldn't know it from the get go, Gloria shows how naughty she is. The extra actors are all lame and probably Brazilian; I don't think our country has only bad actors, but unfortunately, they are the majority. Directing, soundtrack and filmography of "Dead in the Water" are all terrible and amateurish. What really saves the film is the plot; the writer made a good job with the story, entertaining with a mysterious atmosphere to only reveal the real characters in the end. Some things end up unanswered, but, through the development of the characters and their behaviors, we get all of it. It's a shame they didn't invest in this film, producing it with so low- budget; I really hope (but doubt) they remake it with a decent director and budget...

This movie has really intense parts that i have never seen before in a U.s flick and that's all good but then it becomes stupid like the ending...then it starts flopping.The dork wins at the end,whatever...i like when they become mad and they start doing serious things to each other...they should have think a lot better before acting...whatever,the movie is not that much a bad flick or a en excellent thing..if you don't have anything else to do...just watch it,as i did,maybe you'll enjoy that parts that i enjoyed...watching 3 desperate U.s kids going mad until they eliminate themselves,something that maybe is happening in real life,sad.

I saw this movie recently and although it is not a great movie, I just couldn't change the channel. Dominique's acting is really good, the guys are less than convincing but the movie still managed to keep my attention for an hour and something. The plot is not common, I mean how often do you find a movie were the characters are scared of themselves and of all the rest?, and the conflict is actually very intriguing, it really got me thinking what would I do in such a situation. It is not one of those movies easy to watch, and perhaps many people won't like it but I found it very interesting. To one of the comments that said that the "Mexican" guy wasn't good looking I would like to say two things: a) He was Brazilian. Brazilian, not Mexican. It is pretty different. and b)handsome guys do not make a movie interesting or worth watching. If you want to see a different movie, that might not be very normal you should watch this one.

Having noticed the comments, I didn't expect a good movie. But it wasn't that bad either!Just skip it to 30 minutes, before that it's a waste of time. Personally I expected an ending like this, and strange enough, there wasn't an alternative ending on the DVD. Acting is average, but the scenery is just the boat, the boat and the boat.Thin story, but as a rental one to choose for starters. Definitely not one to have as 'grand finale'.
