everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Admirable film.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Very nice acting and the movie was thrilling and breath taken. But for real the mother should have take water for here child and some snack on boat trip like that

No conclusive ending. I hated how terribly awful this film is

Overall its a 6+, not so good story and acting aswell, poor simple acts that wanst that close to reality.Anyway was a ok film once again, 1:40h well spent, worth to see.

Firstly i want to say that this is my first IMDb review, and English isn't my native language, so please excuse me if i make grammar mistakes. I personally can't understand how such an awful scenario for this movie was approved. It is full of mistakes that in real life would never happen. I watched it just because of Barkhad Abdi acting in the movie. Spoiler alert from now on !!!In this review i will try to explain why this movie was so bad for me.In the beginning of the movie, when the family arrives on the island, the father rush to rent a jet ski to ride with his kid. When he is told all the jet skis are already rented he does a desperate move renting a boat from a local man, like he was in his last day of the vacation. Another thing that it seems weird to me, is that the boat has no radio station so you can emit an S.O.S. if needed. The biggest thing that i can't understand is the lack of cell phone on the family. Like really? No camera, no phone, no nothing when you go on a vacantion ?? A GPS on a phone would resolve so many things...Throughout the movie Kevin Riley is seen wearing a watch. From the moment he wakes up in the boat took by Miguel he can look at the time and calculate how much time was until they arrived at the harbor. This information would narrow the search area for the police.He is taken by Miguel to a payphone to raise the money needed. He is shown calling multiple persons. From where did he get the numbers? Highly improbable that he would memorate all that numbers.When he is left to drawn in the boat, the wood walls are old and frail so it is hard to believe that a strong man cannot put a hole in those.Highly improbable that the crossbow would trigger when put down gently. He escapes the hospital very easy, running with a fresh wound. Jorge get's run over by somebody right in the middle of the road, with no brakes, no nothing. With he's dying powers Jorge points a island to a map he barely seen (Kevin has three maps, but when Jorge opens his eyes he has the correct one in the hand) and is for the first time he is seen them.Again with a fresh wound Kevin runs for the nearest harbor but with just minutes ago he cannon run for more than a few meters. When refueling the boat the contor on the fuel pump run very slowly, but in the next shot it goes very fast, filling the 1200 litres fuel tank in just under a minute.When reaching to the island he miraculously saves his son life by doing cardiac massage (manage to get there just when his heart stops beating...)If all this doesn't convince you that this is a bad movie i don't know what to say more.
