    As the movie opens, a young girl (Lolita's Dominique Swain) is preparing for a weekend of reckless abandon aboard her father's boat, along with her boyfriend (Scott Bairstow) and close pal (Henry Thomas). The trio is forced to take in a fourth, though, when her father insists tha...( read more)t the son of a business associate join them. After some harmless frolicking and flirting, the plot thickens when Swain and the swarthy stranger are caught kissing by Bairstow - who promptly proceeds to toss the poor sap overboard. After much arguing and bickering - this is after they've sailed quite a distance from where the outsider hit the drink - the gang finally decides to head back and rescue the dude. But, not surprisingly, he's long gone at that point, with only his life preserver providing evidence that he was ever there. This leads to even more arguing and bickering among the friends, as they try to figure out what happened to the guy and decide what to do next. What follows is a familiar game of "How do we get away with this?" with the girl at the center of innumerable plans that keep her out of trouble while setting up the other two (or worse, killing them off). The film is well-made and reasonably well-acted, but the confines of that little boat get a little tiresome after 90 minutes. As well, the desperation makes sense, but the kids turn a little too easily to murder as their "only option" for getting out of the jam.

    A fun little thriller that doesn't overstay it's welcome and has a solid ending.

    Dead in the Water is the story of three friends, who along with the son of Gloria's father's business partner, spend a day out at sea. After things go wrong, the three friends try to figure out a way to fix everything, which ends tragically.

    I give the movie barely 2 stars. The ...( read more)ending was predictable and the acting was mediocre. I was hoping the movie would be better, but it just wasn't. They also give away the fate of one of the main characters during the opening credits.

    I actually enjoyed watching this. It had quite a few twists and it had me entertained.
