I downloaded this film because I live in Kerry, so the title caught my attention, I had no Idea that this film was set in Waterville, which is only seven miles from me. I didn't even know that a film had been made there until I started to watch it and saw the part where it showed the outside of a pub, which is actually "The Fishermans Bar". I was also surprised to find out that a lot of other locals hadn't seen it too. Overall I thought it was good, but maybe I'm being a little bit biased because some of the film extras were locals.

Watched this on Netflix because I usually enjoy films with an Ireland setting. The filmmakers covered all the stereotypical Irish bases with music and scenery, but it often had nothing to do with the film itself. Recently went to Ireland, and never heard anyone break out into spontaneous song in one of the pubs, but is seemed to happen regularly in this film. Of course, 'Oh Danny Boy,' a song that isn't even Irish, was covered. I think they also set a record for use of the words 'lads' and 'grand.' The acting, particularly when anger is conveyed, is over the top bad, and each character gets angry at some point. The ending makes absolutely no sense, as no motive whatsoever is presented, and as another viewer noted below, the girl's death would have been easily classified as a homicide with any investigation whatsoever.This is a b-level thriller at best, but only watch it for the comic relief.

This movie is entertaining and leads you to believe that the ending of the movie will bring an explanation to what happened to Kerry and give the viewer (me) closure. The acting is very good and the story moves at a great pace. You are sure that Emma will discover the truth about Kerry's death. The ending is so disappointing that I felt like I had my time, which I invested in watching this movie, ripped off. I felt anger that I let myself get sucked into this movie. You will hate the ending so don't bother watching this film. The ending is just not realistic. If the circumstances behind Kerry's death in the film happened in real life, forensic evidence - even with her having been in the water - would have provided a path to discovering who or what caused her death.

Terrible dialogue that would barely be convincing on the page, appalling acting - especially from the bit parts that immediately lessen the impact of a group of amateurs doing their very best, and sloppy camera work that appears to have been filmed kit borrowed from a nearby wedding. Worse still, this is overloaded with Irish stereotypes to the point of being laughably offensive. Still, thank you Netflix for being such a reasonably priced service so I didn't have to pay top dollar for this garbage, though I do wonder how on earth it managed to find its way onto the service in the first place.Avoid unless you're drunk and feel like watching a predictable "thriller" written by children and performed by card board boxes.
