Verdict:

(+) Ripping the script apart was fun.

(+) The characters talk under water with no earpieces, music is played on a stereo under water, and a fish screams. It was hilarious.

(-) The film is only 90 minutes long but still manages to waste a lot of time with long boring scenes where nothing happens.

(-) Way too many unnecessary slow-motion shots.

(-) Loads of disposable characters. Scrap that, all the characters were disposable.

(-) The acting was annoying.

(-) The jump scares were even more annoying.

(-) The movie is set in Mexico (or Brazil?) despite the fact that literally none of the characters are Mexican (or Brazilian?).

(-) The CGI was meh.  

FINAL GRADE: 3/10
