Review of Black Water

Black Water (2007)
Well worth the time to watch

Warning: Spoilers
WOW!! I watched this movie on DVD and, dare I say it, on looking up the cast on IMDb, formed the idea that it was probably going to be a waste of time since I'd never heard of any of them. I couldn't have been more wrong!! For at least 80% of the movie, I was on the edge of my seat! I noticed it is based on a true story although I don't remember ever hearing anything like it on the news here in Australia. How close the screenplay is to that story I have no idea but, even if it is only a fraction close, the younger sister, Lee should have been given some sort of bravery award.

If this had been made in Hollywood with big-name actors I reckon it would have been a smash hit. As it is and as I say, I had never heard of it or any of the cast until I was loaned the DVD. I guess it's a case of being in the right place at the right time.

I give it 8.7.
