Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
La Dolce Vita on an exclusive island resort off Mexico is disrupted by a heavy-breathing shark. The standard of this Jaws rip-off is lamentable, as the press handout lets slip: 'The crazed shark attacks the hunter furiously - in a scene that is among the most appalling ever filmed'. Everyone and everything competes for last prize in this no-no: Susan George beds down with two shark-hunting dilettantes for one of the most listless three-way relationships ever; the script flounders even more than the shark. 'I am worried about how this is going to end' confides one character in a moment of rare candour. 'But I know it must end one of these days' he concludes hopefully - an act of faith beyond the grasp of the languishing audience.Author: CPe

- Posted on Jun 24 2008 05:57 This is one of the greatest shark attack movies I have seen after Jaws... The underwater photography is incredible. The story, the actors and the action are just great. The shark is not a robot by the way. I highly recommend it to all those Jaws fans out there. Bravo!
