Hold your breath!

Rating: Null/10 (19 November 2004)

Rosanna Arquette is nice to look at but the story here is about free diving and the competitive nature of the two divers. The cinematography is stunning and, as the divers are under water, you begin to feel like you're running out of air; you'll feel like you're there with them.
Never thought I'd identify with a free diver (as I'm strictly a "surface swimmer") but the director and the actors do a great job of helping you understand the motives of these divers.
Did I mention that Rosanna Arquette is nice to look at? She's actually a distraction, believe it or not. I'd say that she was miscast in this role. Probably would have been more believable if (a-not-yet-a-superstar) Jodie Foster had played this role.
Nevertheless, I'll give this movie a strong "thumb's up". Get a bucket of popcorn, a soft drink and an Aqualung, then enjoy.
