Survive or Die

About This Movie

So, 'Survive or Die' has this raw and gritty feel that really sets it apart. The story dives into the harrowing journey of Shade, a 16-year-old who’s seen it all—losing her family in a civil war and then facing the vastness of the ocean. The atmosphere is tense, almost claustrophobic at times, especially when they're stranded without supplies. The performances are pretty solid; you can feel the desperation. It’s interesting how the film explores themes of survival and resilience, making you ponder the human spirit when faced with dire circumstances. Practical effects add a layer of authenticity, which is refreshing in an age of CGI. There's a certain unpredictability to the pacing that keeps you engaged, for better or worse.
