Why is there always THAT character
This was such a shame that not only was it moore as a lead, who despite having her fans I've never been impressed with any of her acting, but also that the writers went with the "one strong, one weak" character trope. It is such a tiring and played out dynamic.
Despite me despising the Lisa character, I enjoyed the movie enough to watch it through. It held my interest and even managed to sustain a tense mood. I just don't understand why.....why?!?!?! Do writers ALWAYS have to write a character as someone who does EVERYTHING in their power to NOT prevail under their circumstances in these types of films. You have a limited supply of O2, so what do you do? Oh, that's right, freak out non-stop and when you're not freaking out you're crying and talking about how you're going to die. Having gotten that rant out of my system, I get that you can't have a cast of completely stable/strong characters, but come on, they could tone it down after the initial (and to be expected) act I freak out. I'm not sure if it was the script or Moore taking it upon herself to be a never ending supply of lines and exclamations that had me rooting for the sharks on occasion. This movie had incredible potential(despite going against real life shark behaviour, but hey, what shark movie doesn't) I just couldn't get past the atrocious logic(or constant butter fingers)shown by the two leads to call this a "good" movie...more mediocre?
