Ava (Sophie McIntosh), the daughter of the Governor of California, is hoping for a peaceful getaway with friends in the resort town of Cabo, Mexico -- with her faithful minder Brandon (Colm Meaney) in tow. But when the plane crashes in the Pacific Ocean and comes to rest on the edge of an underwater ravine, Ava and a handful of survivors are trapped in the airlocked cabin. Against the odds, Ava must fend for herself, contend with bloodthirsty sharks, and find the courage to step up and lead the crash survivors to safety.

Critics Consensus

Taking a promising premise and driving it straight into the sea, No Way Up doesn't have enough fun with its nerve-shredding concept.

Read Critics Reviews

John Anderson

Wall Street Journal

The one selling point of No Way Up is that it makes you scared of being scared, which may be enough for a lazy evening on the couch with a friend, a drink and a meal, though it probably wouldn’t work on sushi night.

Dave Golder

Radio Times

With cheesy dialogue and easily predictable moments, this may be far from high art but it embraces its clichés like old friends and delivers some claustrophobic tension and fun action.

Rated: 2/5

Emiliano Basile

EscribiendoCine

There is some tension in the aircraft falling into the sea and an occasional well-executed shark attack; the rest is a sum of clichés that make the film unbearable. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2/10

Sebastian Zavala Kahn

Me gusta el cine

Most performances are good, the visual effects are surprisingly decent, and the entire experience is digested in just over an hour and a half, which is increasingly rare these days. Full review in Spanish.

Rated: 3/5

Chad Collins

Dread Central

No Way Up not only contends with killer sharks, but also irreconcilable visions. A self-serious tone sucks all the oxygen out of what was otherwise an effective killer shark flick.

Rated: 2.5/5

If there is one thing noticeable when reviewing the nonsense in the movies of the good Claudio Fäh, is that as a child he enjoyed all kinds of movie nonsense. [Full review in Spanish]
