ADRIFT/OPEN WATER 2 - Wank, wank, wank, part Deux

OPEN WATER 2 is a bloody awful movie. It has been marketed in the UK as ADRIFT as if to separate it from the trauma that was the piss-poor original. But let's be clear, a turd by any other name smells as foul. The MO is the usual. Six preppie Americans sail out to sea. They are moderately attractive in that bland, day-time TV kind of way. Doofus-like they all go for a swim without letting down the ladder. For the next hour we watch them flail around in the water. The audience is occasionally teased with the promise of nudity or sharks but the movie fails to deliver on every level. To quote the guy sitting behind me as the credits rolled: "That was shite". He is not wrong.

ADRIFT/OPEN WATER 2 is on release in Greece, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Argentina and the UK. It opens in the Netherlands on September 5th 2006.
