Average as film, quite good as story

The Deep. Based on true story of Icelandic man, named Gulli, who fights his way back on the land from freezing water after the accident where trawler flips over and all other crew members get killed.

After over 6 hours in the freezing water and couple hours of walking, the man survives.

It's an interesting story and the film does not end when the man survives. It tells the story after the accident and about the life that the Gulli is gonna experience after the tragic event.

Yeah, the story is well executed and quite intriguing (yeah, it's based on real story after all), but everything else is so-so made. Personally I didn't like the style of filming and any of the characters. Actually, you do not know anything about them. Proper introduction would be good, even so they all die quite quickly in the film. The acting itself is weird.. Especially the main character..

The movie itself could be better if it was written and directed LITTLE differently than the real events. I mean enjoyment is quite missing and it does not feel like a movie. It's more like a document.

Well, if you like these kind of movies which are made purely with real life events, you could like this. This does not offer you as much as a movie. I prefer Perfect Storm movie than this... It's kind of similar story but.. It's just executed and written better.

(Ps. Sorry about my English..)
