Couldn't watch last 20 minutes when everything becomes anti-climactic. Potentially good plot becomes implausible. Pity because setting and acting are good. Main problem is our credulity at group's incompetence or their pacifity when confronted with main character's villainy. I'd have loved to support this more as the actors do their best in a unique setting but the script let them down. Comparable to the much better Dead Calm.

Actors Do Their Best
Pretty good
Predictable but good nonetheless. The 600 character minimum for this review is a bit much. I'm not one to comment on the creative aspects of the movie, just the entertainment value.
I watched this on Prime which doesn't offer captions. As a result, because of the thick accents I could only understand about 10% of what was said. Might as well have been in Chinese.
The male passengers other than the crazy guy were massive pussies. They had numerous chances to put a stop to the nonsense but didn't. The ladies were much more assertive.
The scenery was great, but I could have done without the fish market scenes at the beginning. Very disgusting.
Bully on a boat
Surfers head out to catch some waves and a power struggle unfolds on a sailing boat. That's the premise of this feature film, which would have benefited from some extra editing. Ben Oxenbould does a great job as your typical testosterone filled Aussie dickhead, who, much like the screenwriter of this movie, seems to be losing the plot quite often. Sam, the female lead who gets a kick out of manipulating people, seems to be equally creepy as Bull (Oxenbould) but the film only threads down this path very lightly. The other characters are pretty one dimensional and the focus stays on Bull, who's up there with other great on-screen sociopaths. The low budget can't be blamed for a missed Oscar opportunity but rather the way the story is presented to the viewer.
Recommended for that holiday trip with friends and foes.
