REVIEW: No Way Up (2024 Film) - Starring Sophie McIntosh, Will Attenborough, Jeremias Amoore, Manuel Pacific, Grace Nettle, Phyllis Logan and Colm Meaney
"No Way Up" presents a gripping survival thriller centered around a group of diverse characters stranded in the Pacific Ocean after a plane crash. Led by Sophie McIntosh's Ava, the daughter of a politician, and supported by solid performances from the cast, the film effectively captures the tension and desperation of their situation. Visually, the movie impresses with well-executed underwater sequences, despite its low budget, and maintains a tight pace throughout its brief runtime of just over an hour and a half.
While "No Way Up" embraces its B-movie roots and delivers on the thrills expected from the killer shark genre, it occasionally falters by taking itself too seriously and missing opportunities for humor. Additionally, some plot holes and lapses in logic may leave viewers frustrated. Despite these shortcomings, the film offers an entertaining ride for fans of the genre, earning a fair score of 7 out of 10 for its decent performances, impressive visuals, and overall suspenseful atmosphere.
