Surprisingly gripping - The Reef review by JD
Based on a true story always gives a film the edge. There is quite a lot of romantic plot which is a little irrelevant, not interesting and doesn't add much to the tension. The plot is very simple, but the direction is good, tension mounting slowly throughout and the emotions of each character easily appeciated. I was genuinely in extreme suspense.

Surprisingly effective - The Reef review by SE
I wasn’t expecting much from this but it’s a taut thriller which is, in my opinion, close to being the number one shark film (after JAWS obviously). Even the trailer has got me tense again. Don’t watch it if you’re planning to go diving any time soon.
