Movie: "Open Water"

I do not know if it is realistic or not, and I do not care that much. It is no realistic docu-drama and no horror movie, but it is a psychodrama, somewhat, and the suspense is subtle. A "Kammerspiel". I am still confused myself about the ammount of impression it created for me.

BTW, the film was successful enough that they abused the title for a new movie being released these days, "Open Water 2". However, the film is by no means an official second part. It has nothing to do with the first movie, and it is made by different people.

On the Hollywood thing, I admit, occassionally they make a good, "silent" movie, too. Unfortunately, the loud and noisy crap dominates by far, and the stereotyped plots. Nothing against entertainement, I like to see a well-made action movie occasionally, but my taste is not limited to that Hollywood-Blockbuster-kind of movies exclusively.

It was an OK movie. Predictable though. At least they took the time to add a dts track to it too. I can't stand AC3 audio - its missing way too much detail.
