Phoenixphire81 I just had to give this film a go after reading the ridiculous synopsis. However, it was not as bad as I expected. It is full of character clichés and obvious plot developments but it's still actually quite watchable. The acting is OK, no mind blowing performances here. A couple of known faces turn up in form of Julian McMahon (Fantastic 4) and Alex Russel (Chronicle) but the rest of the cast are relatively unknown other than the fact that everyone seems to have been in Home and Away at some point. The film moves at a steady pace and does have some tense scenes and some wonderfully gruesome deaths...but mostly this is just B movie tat without the sense of humour that usually comes with that genre. The films also loses points for some truly shocking CGI when it comes to the tsunami and indeed the sharks. Still...I watched till the end.
foden1234 OK, not a real fan of present day shark mania movies (Atomic Shark, Ice Shark and so on)but this has something going for it, good acting, good cinematography,good script.I think of it as a cross platform movie, meaning it's a cross between Stephen King's The Mist and Peter Benchley's Jaws. An interesting angle of horror and tension and of course the antagonist...Mr Shark.visual effects well above par for a "low budget" movie. the people behind the making of the movie definitely have talent, as do the actors.If you are stuck for a really good movie, and have watched the cream of them...then sit back and have a good night in with popcorn and enjoy.
Michael O'Keefe Director Kimble Rendall turns out a rather respectable creature feature. Think of the beach and one sees pretty people surfing and swimming, children building sandcastles, starfish and seashells being sifted from the sand by curious vacationers. And yes, in the back of your mind is someone yelling...SHARK! Josh (Xavier Samuel) and his fiancé Tina (Shami Vinson) plan to move from Australia to Singapore after their nuptials. A freak shark attack kills Tina's brother (Richard Brancatisano). Josh is wrought with guilt for not being able to save the life of his best friend; Tina leaves. About a year later Josh is working in an underground grocery store and runs into Tina, who has returned with her new man. Unfortunately a huge tsunami hits and floods the store trapping many inside with a special guest...a Great White Shark. Survivors will have to band together for ideas to outlive the haphazard starving twelve foot predator. CGI shark attacks are gory. Danger lurks as the terror reaches fever pitch.Also in the cast: Julian McMahon, Dan Wyllie, Alice Parkinson, Cariba Heine, Alex Russell, Damien Garvey and Phoebe Tonkin.
jlthornb51 This bloody Australian production is completely terrible and should be avoided. It simply is too graphic in its depiction of dismemberment and slaughter. The wanton mayhem is just unholy in its utter intensity and there are uncountable scenes of human beings chomped in half or torn limb from limb. This is completely unacceptable. I recall seeing Jaws at the theater when it was first released and how everyone screamed when a single head floated into view. It was breathtakingly horrible. In this film, that is done over and over only with decomposing flesh and body parts galore. That we as audiences are so desensitized to such horrors today is certainly something that should be of deep concern both morally and spiritually.
