About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re in the mood for a fast-moving, often silly shark-attack thriller that plays like a scrappy Jaws cousin; Not for you if you need polished effects, originality, or serious drama.
Pros: lots of shark action; cheesy fun moments; decent entertainment value | Cons: blatant Jaws copy; uneven acting; weak, inconsistent effects
