As a woman in my forties like the lead actress was in this movie ... WHY would you portray her as a recent med school grad who is repeatedly called 'kid' by the main actor? She's not a kid. That's demeaning as heck. She is not a kid. I feel like the character was meant to be in her mid twenties but they cast someone who looks every year of their age and it was impossible to suspend belief that she was a jilted ingenue on what should have been her honeymoon with characters (her pals) who seemed MUCH younger. She took me out of every single scene. Especially the 'kid' nonsense. Next, she's a med school grad but she doesn't even TRY to do any CPR at all when her friend washes up on shore after being hit by a shark tail. He's not bloody. Why wouldn't she do CPR? Then another friend comes with no leg and instead of using his belt as a tourniquet ... she leaves him to bleed out while she runs to get a first aid kit that she doesn't use at all ... and THEN uses his belt as a tourniquet. What. On. Earth!? Why did she go get that kit when his belt was RIGHT THERE!? The only thing worse than the special effects was the acting. Just horrible. Right up there with The Requin as worst shark movie ever. Just. HORRIBLE.

First off the concept isn't even original, almost the entire plot was stolen from Jaws with a little influence from Deep Blue Sea. The acting was horrible, the lines were horrible. It felt like Jaws on a $50 budget. It was misleading and what the hell was the point of having and actress who was a doctor who didn't know basic first aid. If I could give this a negative rating I would. I wasted an hour and a half on my life on this movie. To be honest this movie doesn't deserve a 600 character review. I don't believe the director or producer had the audacity to the setup the end of this movie for a sequel. The writers need to be fired and it's clearly obviously they didn't have the budget for a CG shark, I've seen better card board sharks in Baywatch.

I know that this movie has horrible special effects, a really dumb script, and no value to our world, but damnit, it was awesome!! I was half drunk on whiskey when I ran across this movie on Amazon. Although it looked stupid and a waste of time, I gave it a shot. My wife even questioned my ability to think when I purchased it, but I wasn't going to be deterred. So basically, dumb people go out, make stupid choices, and die violently to a shark that is around 40 feet long and has a really bad case of chapped lips. I'm glad proud of my selection and was very excited they set up the sequel. I loved it!!

Though this movie won't be a ballad like Peter Benchley's Jaws, it's an entertaining survival film. I was well entertained and my eyes never wandered away from the screen. The movie follows a group of individuals on holiday, each with their own problems but willing to forget them on this trip. They are unaware the location they are going to has been invaded by a rogue great white shark who has developed a taste for hunting humans. I enjoyed this film far more than Beast 2022, which was a big let down for me. The acting is decent and more like the standard for a decent TV series these days. The photography is beautiful though, except for some instances of C. G. I. I think there is no mechanical shark like Jaws in this one, the special effects are all computerized. Verdict: decent and enjoyable time-pass film. Some more shark movies for you: Mission of the Shark: The Saga of the U. S. S. Indianapolis 1991, Deep Blue Sea 1999, 12 Days of Terror 2004.

I'm giving this a 6 because I was entertained throughout it. Now the shark didn't look the best, but I loved how massive and fierce the shark was. Plus the location of the movie was absolutely gorgeous. The sharks attacks were brutal and very gory, which was pretty cool. The shark in this was actually killing for sport. The plot was decent enough, a young woman's (Nicky Whelan) 5 friends surprise her on a trip to cheer her up. They meet a captain and his wife who take them out to a island paradise for snorkeling and camping, unaware that a eogue great white has staked its claim to the warm waters and is attacking people. After the captain and his wife vanish, the friends suffer an attack and must find away off of the island without being eaten. A local grieving father may be their only help as he hunts the shark down that killed his daughter in the beginning of the movie. Overall, it was not a bad shark movie to end the summer with.

I don't know what everyone is so mad about. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this film. The locations were beautiful; the camera work was clean and smooth; and the shark looked pretty good. It's nowhere near as bad as the reviews say. As for the acting, Shane West was definitely the strongest actor here. But that doesn't mean the others were bad. They were all good, and I loved the dynamic of the friend group. I think people may be mad because it isn't full of nudity or sex scenes. But I found that to be quite refreshing. The characters looked (and acted) like real people. I was entertained, which is the whole point of a movie, and I will watch it again.
