Synopsis

This was released in certain territories as Open Water 2, though it seems to have no real link to Chris Kentis's ingenious micro-budget feature beyond its similar premise. Here, it's a group of friends holidaying on a yacht who wind up bobbing around in the ocean with no way back on board through an act of stupendous shortsightedness. While Open Water generated interest from the fact that its protagonists were man and wife, what character delineation there is in Adrift is pretty superficial (the married mum who must overcome her fear of water, the alpha male who isn't all he seems, the screechy girlfriend) as the plot winds its way via the couples' mutual bickering to a deeply unsatisfactory dénouement. It may, however, mitigate the general tedium for some audiences that, because of one failed plan, the last third of the movie is performed entirely in the nude.
