Actor Barkhad Abdi is a person I would not want to be on the same boat as him.Abdi plays a poor fisherman, Miguel who thinks his golden goose has dropped a golden egg when he finds Dr Kevin Riley (Eion Bailey) a heart surgeon on holiday in the Caribbean stranded on a broken down motorboat with his family and in desperate need for help.After drifting for some days, his wife and son exhausted, Miguel seizes the opportunity to demand money from the Kevin. Then once the money has been transferred he leaves them all for dead fearing they would go to the police.Kevin makes the search for his family and Miguel once he realises that the local police are no help.This is another American in peril story abroad. The good doctor should had figured that there was no way the fisherman would release his family once he got the money. It really is a B movie, cheesy, the acting is rather wooden, Danny Glover is really too old to play a cop but it has some thrills but the plot is nonsensical.

it's a good thriller except the ending should be very complete :D I hate when they make a full movie and don't complete the ending. Else it shows when a bad luck strikes it doesn't come alone. I love the main character. love of family is a real.this movie is about how far you can go for your family to survive and to see them alive and happy again.

Firstly i want to say that this is my first IMDb review, and English isn't my native language, so please excuse me if i make grammar mistakes. I personally can't understand how such an awful scenario for this movie was approved. It is full of mistakes that in real life would never happen. I watched it just because of Barkhad Abdi acting in the movie. Spoiler alert from now on !!!In this review i will try to explain why this movie was so bad for me.In the beginning of the movie, when the family arrives on the island, the father rush to rent a jet ski to ride with his kid. When he is told all the jet skis are already rented he does a desperate move renting a boat from a local man, like he was in his last day of the vacation. Another thing that it seems weird to me, is that the boat has no radio station so you can emit an S.O.S. if needed. The biggest thing that i can't understand is the lack of cell phone on the family. Like really? No camera, no phone, no nothing when you go on a vacantion ?? A GPS on a phone would resolve so many things...Throughout the movie Kevin Riley is seen wearing a watch. From the moment he wakes up in the boat took by Miguel he can look at the time and calculate how much time was until they arrived at the harbor. This information would narrow the search area for the police.He is taken by Miguel to a payphone to raise the money needed. He is shown calling multiple persons. From where did he get the numbers? Highly improbable that he would memorate all that numbers.When he is left to drawn in the boat, the wood walls are old and frail so it is hard to believe that a strong man cannot put a hole in those.Highly improbable that the crossbow would trigger when put down gently. He escapes the hospital very easy, running with a fresh wound. Jorge get's run over by somebody right in the middle of the road, with no brakes, no nothing. With he's dying powers Jorge points a island to a map he barely seen (Kevin has three maps, but when Jorge opens his eyes he has the correct one in the hand) and is for the first time he is seen them.Again with a fresh wound Kevin runs for the nearest harbor but with just minutes ago he cannon run for more than a few meters. When refueling the boat the contor on the fuel pump run very slowly, but in the next shot it goes very fast, filling the 1200 litres fuel tank in just under a minute.When reaching to the island he miraculously saves his son life by doing cardiac massage (manage to get there just when his heart stops beating...)If all this doesn't convince you that this is a bad movie i don't know what to say more.
