Good idea, but way too many flaws

If you haven't seen this, you might not want to read on. This movie could have been really good, but there were way too many flaws and things left unanswered. They never give a destination for one thing. I also thought it was pretty stupid of the husband to leave his wife alone on a boat with a stranger under such odd circumstances. What person with average intelligence would do that? And then the most disappointing part of all, she f**** the bad guy! There were plenty of other things she could have tried first before resorting to that. I could understand it if she HAD to, but she really didn't. Why did she wait so long after she found out what he was up to to even try and get the gun her husband TOLD her to keep by her side? It just seemed that the characters did too many stupid things and it didn't make any sense. Plus, the bad guy coming back to life after they already thought he was dead was 100% predictable. Don't waste your money.
