I've seen a few people asking something along the lines of "How did Zoe Bell get involved in this? It's so bad." And to be fair, it is bad, it is. Also, I have no insider knowledge here, I straight-up have no idea how she got involved in Freshwater. But! Having finished the movie, I can honestly imagine, that if someone had given me the bullet points of this movie's plot, I might get really intrigued by developments in the third act. That conversation would have to be a very bare-bones one, and one that completely omits things like structure, budget, effects, etc., but I truly could see how at a very early stage, it wouldn't necessarily be insane to have gotten excited about Freshwater.

The end result fuckin' sucks though.

Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.
