All Susan (Blanchard Ryan) and Daniel (Daniel Travis) wanted was a relaxing getaway from their busy lives.
Susan has two cellphones, while Daniel drags along his laptop on their vacation in the Bahamas.
Midway through their nightmare, Susan blurts out, "I wanted to go skiing!" a line that could be this year’s "Show me the money." But this is a film that rises and falls with the lead performances.

 open water
You've probably heard the synopsis: A yuppie couple, Susan (Blanchard Ryan) and Daniel (Daniel Travis), go scuba-diving on vacation and are left behind by the boat.
Susan and Daniel are your typical eternally distracted drones, digitally attached to their jobs.
Susan in particular is plagued by calls from the office, even when readying for departure; how much she would give to have an annoying cell phone a day or so later.

 Open Water Review (2003)
A harrassed yuppie couple, Susan (Blanchard Ryan) and Daniel (Daniel Travis) are off on their annual holiday.
We are treated to the guide instructing the holidaymakers in the safety procedures, a minor drama when one tourist forgets his diving mask and can't partcipate, and once they commence the dive, one woman has problems with her ear and has to give up.
At first Daniel and Susan wave their arms above their heads as they have been told when they realise the boat has left them behind, but it is clear this is having no benefit when nothing comes of it.

The guy on the dive boat in charge of counting the scuba divers makes a simple mistake, thinking 20 people are underwater so that when all 20 surface and are accounted for, the boat departs, leaving numbers 21 and 22, Susan and Daniel, behind.
At first, Susan and Daniel are bravely nonchalant, reasoning that the error will quickly be realized and help will be on the way.
As the two of them bob in the water for an hour, don't be surprised if you begin to get just as seasick as Susan, who finds her Dramamine wearing off too soon.

It's only in exposition--as Susan and Daniel get to the island, have their little squabbles, get too tired to make love and kill flying mosquitoes in their hotel room--does the actors' inexperience flare up.
Even when Susan and Daniel have a blowout while bobbing in the water about whose fault it is that they are in this predicament, it comes off a tad too forced.
Ryan, however, redeems herself in the end, as emotions dance across her face when Susan is faced with making an ultimate decision.

 Amazon.ca: Books: Self Leadership and the One Minute Manager: Increasing Effectiveness Through Situational Self ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Blanchard's point here is that managers are too busy and distracted to effectively mentor employees and that workers need to assume responsibility for their own failures and successes-seeking the advice of superiors only when they absolutely need to.
However, in Blanchard's "business parable," self-reliance is found amid a background of invariably cheerful coworkers, loving, maternal bosses and implausibly charming strangers.
Blanchard's first maxim is correct: "Ultimately, it's in your own best interest to accept responsibility for getting what you need to succeed in the workplace." But readers may find his fairytale enactment of it too saccharine to be practical.

 The Seattle Times: Movies: Suspense circles craftily in terrifying "Open Water"
On a scuba-diving vacation, Susan (Blanchard Ryan) and Daniel (Daniel Travis) are accidentally left behind in the ocean by a tour boat.
Susan and her boyfriend, Daniel (Daniel Travis), are garden-variety stressed-out yuppies going on a much-needed island holiday; and there's a bit too much tired banter involving burnout, sexual incompatibility and multiple cellphones in the movie's opening scenes.
They're often barely perceptible, dark shapes in the ever-moving water — which is, as Susan says, almost as scary as seeing them clearly.

While vacationing in the Bahamas, married couple Susan (Blanchard Ryan) and Daniel (Daniel Travis) go scuba diving and find themselves stranded in the middle of the ocean when they resurface.
The mistake that lands Susan and Daniel in this situation is so horrifyingly simple that we fear it as much as we do any shark fin.
Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis deserve enormous praise for their portrayals of Susan and Daniel.

 OPEN WATER - WIDESCREEN DVD
Time extends--the couple is admirably panic-free for the first few hours of their abandonment--and then a few of the plot points (that Susan doesn't know not to drink salt water, for instance) strike as unrealistic.
Meanwhile, the picture's spare sound design is somewhat oversold in duelling DTS-ES 6.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 EX mixes, the former of which argues its case for being the superior option with a smoother timbre and less gimmicky directionality.
The remaining two audio tracks house a pair of feature-length commentaries, the first reuniting Blanchard Ryan with her co-star Daniel Travis, the second teaming writer-director Chris Kentis with his wife, producer/cinematographer Laura Lau.

 Film Review: Open Water
Susan (Blanchard Ryan) and Daniel (DanielTravis) jet off for a stress-busting holiday in the Bahamas.
The expedition is painfully progressed by "man with clipboard", which includes numerous shots of him tallying the number of passengers (wrongly) and of the two empty spaces on the boat.
Still, whether this piece of risible direction is more annoying than Susan and Daniel's agonisingly slow realisation that they have been left stranded is debatable.

 Arrow In The Head's movie review of Open Water: Blanchard Ryan/Susan, Daniel Travis/Daniel
Blanchard Ryan (Susan) was swell eye-candy and presented a credible performance, on the whole.
I did find her to be too subdued in places though, especially when taking into account the dire situation in which she was.
T & A: Blanchard Ryan (Susan) graced us with her melons and her “bushy” landing strip while the ladies got Travis and a couple of other dudes doing the shirtless thing.

Daniel (Daniel Travis) and Susan (Blanchard Ryan) are your typical yuppie couple more connected to their cell phones and the Internet than to each other.
The next morning, Daniel and Susan join a group of 18 other divers on a charter boat for their diving excursion.
But, the comments I heard as soon as I left the theater were, "WTF," "What a waste of time," and "I'm still waiting for the scary part." My immediate instinct was to agree with those comments, but it wasn't until the next day that I had a slight change of mind.

They come from a world of SUVs and cell phones and busy work schedules, and now their lives have been reduced to the fact that they are floating in the ocean.
Their dialogue is believable: No poetry, no philosophy, no histrionics, just the way people talk when they know each other well and are trying to kid themselves that things are not as bad as they seem.
There is even a period when Susan discusses whether this might have all been Daniel's fault: He spent too much time looking at that damned eel.

(5) and the fact that the DOB as calculated from Susan Blanchard's age at death on her grave stone (between 21 Jan 1805 and 20 Jan 1806) is is similar to Susanna Eells' VR DOB in Freeport of 24 Jan 1806;
Thus, the link between these Blanchard descendants below and the John Eells who immigrated to Dorchester in 1633 is based on this PROBABILITY that Susan (Eells) Blanchard is the same person as Susanna Eells of Freeport.
SOURCES: Her birth as Susanna Eells is from Freeport VR Bk A, p72 (24 Jan 1806), EellsFH p99 (as unsourced "Susannah"), and from age at death (78) on gravestone (DOB calc at bet 21 Jan 1805 and 20 Jan 1806).
