- TriviaAt one point Paul is putting on a mask and says "Ain't got no spit," which is the same line Hooper says in Jaws (1975) before putting on his mask and entering the cage.
- GoofsWhile preparing to move the bomb, Paul removes his watch and tosses it in his backpack, which he asks Chato to take with him when exiting the Rig. However, during the Prayer Circle, the watch is back on Paul's left wrist, with which that hand is holding Tommy's right hand. A camera pan around the circle comes back to Paul, and the watch is not on his left wrist, which is still holding Tommy's right hand.

Featured review
Aw, come on. It's not that bad! It's just a poor cousin of one of the "Meg" movies, only with Josh Lucas trying to save the day rather than Jason Statham. He finds himself and his family trapped on a dilapidated oil rig off Baja, where they discover that a creature with a fin the size of a tennis court is marauding and it's peckish. Once safely ensconced on the installation, "Paul" discovers that most of the crew have skedaddled and those left are petrified of our huge great sea beastie. Worse still, they believe it has been sent by their gods as retribution for their plundering of the natural resources - and that they are all going to be tomorrow's ambergris. Now, to be fair to this CGI-fest, the ending is not quite as you might expect but the fact that the great fish seems huge enough to eat a bus at one stage then scared off by being kicked by a small child doesn't do too much for the credibility of this really, really quite sad indictment of where this once A-list actor has toppled to over the last decade. It hasn't really an original bone in any of it's bodies and it really is forgettable stuff that almost made me wish that I was the guy in the poster...
