When their boat sinks while crossing the Timor Sea during World War II, a troop of young Australian soldiers must find a way to survive the harsh seas on a quickly shrinking raft. Hundreds of miles from anywhere, they must confront interpersonal conflicts, enemy attacks, and the advances of one very large, very hungry great white shark.

Props to this film for actually using an animatronic shark rather than attempting CGI. Sure, it looks like the Universal Jaws shark at times, but it's fine. There are some great performances in this film, some nice visual, practical, and special FX. The main issue is how repetitive the second half of the film comes across to the viewer.
Mercifully short in length, but not on suspense!
