Lisa and Kate are
sisters and they go together on a trip to Mexico. Lisa is feeling very down because her boyfriend just broke
up with her. He said she’s too
dull and boring? The sisters meet
Javier, Louis, Benjamin and later Captain Taylor. The men offer to take the women to see sharks from a
cage. Kate is very nervous about
this and she thinks it’s a bad idea.
Tourists were advised to book any trips through the hotel? They take a small boat to the ship
and they see that it’s old and rusty. Two
of the men go into the cage first and they have a successful viewing of
sharks. Next up are the two
women. They say they have
experience as divers but Kate has never done this before?
There are a LOT of
scenes that would probably never happen and not all at once? There is a LOT of tension when
anyone is out of the cage among the sharks. I thought the ending was ambiguous? Personally, being in a shark cage is
one of the last places I would want to be? Plus, stay out of the water if you don’t know what you are
doing or what you are getting into!!

Special
Note: Filmed in the UK and at
Pinewood Dominican Republic Studios, Juan Dolio, Dominican Republic for the
water tank scenes. 47 meters is
equal to 154.2 feet. The original
title was In the Deep. There is a
mistake with the air readings. At this depth there would be 15 minutes of air for the
divers. Both Moore and Holt had not
used scuba gear before. Finely
chopped broccoli was used to replicate the organisms found underwater. Over time, Moore said it was quite
unpleasant and like filming inside soup.
The shark cage and the crane were built on a farm in Kent, UK.
