Director:
Johannes Roberts
Genre: Horror/ Thriller/ Action/ Adventure
Runtime: 89 minutes
Year: 2017
Starring: Mandy Moore, Claire Holt, Chris Johnson, Yani Gellman, Santiago Segura, Matthew Modine

Description: Two sisters (Mandy Moore, Claire Holt) vacationing in Mexico are trapped in a shark cage at the bottom of the ocean. With less than an hour of oxygen left and great white sharks circling nearby, they must fight to survive.

Review: Sisters Lisa and Kate go diving in a cage to see great white sharks. After an accident, the cage ends up dropping underwater at 47 meters deep. With only an hour left of oxygen and sharks all over the place, they have to try and survive.
When it comes to shark movies, there is only a hand full of films that are actually good. And “47 Meters Down” doesn’t belong in that small group. First off, we know almost nothing about the two sisters. Lisa just got out of a relationship and Kate of the fun party girl. While vacationing in Mexico, they decide to go cage diving, with two guys they just met. When they arrive at the boat, the immediately start doubting and believe it’s shady. And everything they see should set off all alarm bells. But still they go into the cage.
Besides Kate and Lisa, there are a few characters whose name you forget almost instantly.
When it comes to the story itself, it’s very predictable. And it’s very repetitive and messy. With all that, the film contains a hilariously bad plot twist that I saw coming from miles away.
“47 Meters Down” is really not a good movie, hardly exciting and I always love watching shark movies.

Rating: 2/ 5
