A very decent story with some strong acting but at some points it's a bit too style over substance

Intriguing premise marred by a low budget and talky script.

I really enjoyed this film. Takes a more personal and close up perspective than many similar vein films/tv shows. Some very good performances especially Christopher Berry who made me weep in one scene.

One very scary movie in the way it shows how easily people can turn against each other when something as vital as water is concerned. It packs a very hard punch for a low budget indie movie, and has a lot to say about the human condition.

100%? Were these reviews written by the director? The cinematography is extremely amateurish. There's a theme- really bright overexposed light and twitchy, grainy, highly processed digital video. There's also a highly repetitive, usually inappropriate soundtrack. Something is just.......off.

This is definitely a film where style triumphs over substance.

[S]mart, nicely acted, and it looks great, far sharper and more stylish than its reported $1 million budget would lead you to believe it could be...

Even without terrorists, it seems, we may be our own worst enemies. Waterborne makes that point with a compelling, highly watchable story.

The action is kept up-close and personal, focusing on individuals instead of mass hysteria. This sense of immediacy brings the audience closer to the story.
