The seemingly tranquil waterways of Venice are terrorized by the perfect killing machine. In search of his father who has mysteriously disappeared diving in the city, David stumbles across the cryptic trail leading to the long-lost fortune of the Medici. As the unwitting pawn in a Mafia plot to recover the treasure, David's girlfriend is kidnapped at gunpoint, plunging him into a desperate race against time. If he has any hope of saving her he must enter the deadly waters. Can David out-gun the Mafia assassins and survive the voracious sharks laying in wait beneath the surface, or will he succumb to the same fate as his father?

doggydog2312 So ummm, OK, I went to see this expecting a low budget trash firm, worth a couple of laughs at its expense, maybe along with it too. And that it delivered.That doesn't change the fact that it's most of the time simply too insultingly dumb to be fun.So there you have Baldwin probably trying to play Till Lindemann playing a constipated yet muscular/trigger happy university professor. You have Bulgarians trying to play Italian and the least convincing Italian turns out to really be Italian. Whoa.Trying to list everything that's, erm, idiotic? about the movie would take all day. Let's just list some (another spoiler alert). Baldwin's character needing assurance if the guy he saw ripped in half survived or not. Mafia guys just multiplying in thin air (mitosis?). Police chasing armed villains running unarmed through the same corridor over and over again (the villains & Baldwin do the same, mind you). Baldwin losing a leg apparently and then growing it back (miraculous recoveries galore!). Sharks growing too big to escape the channels (WTF) yet small enough to fit into spaces for which people think are too small for them to pass. Reusing of scenes and props in general to a painful extent. Etc. etc. etc.The random "shark attack" scenes are crap, but really funny crap, so ludicrously unbelievable that they are actually enjoyable and the best part of the movie.Dunno why I'm giving this a 2. Really don't know. Visually, musically, story-wise, it's abysmal.
Rene Juel Poulsen This movie has the most diffuse script, insane plot and some really bad creature scenes. Along with this of course the usual bad acting of any low budget creature feature, BUT... What it doesn't offer in the previous it delivers in it's unique "over the top" hilarious and adrenaline driven intensity and action. To be honest i was literally blow away by a storm of the most intense editing and the vast amount of action scenes taken to new heights of hilarious proportions. It's a clone of Commando,Indiana Jones,Jaws and an Ed Wood feature at it's best. Not for one second was i bored or able to stop laughing. I highly recommend this for anyone who likes when bad go funny. A true trash Masterpiece !!!
CJDavis-uk Perhaps it was the regurgitation of the same shots over and over again in the short action sequences, perhaps it was the poor acting from all of the cast, perhaps it was the terrible script, or perhaps it was the dire camera work from start to finish which conspired to make this film one of the worst ever made.It is unsurprising, then, that this film released straight to disc, as it may have caused riots at the premiere.If you fancy a very good laugh, or want to see what happens when you watch too many films and try to copy all of them, then watch this film. If you want to see a film with sharks in, watch Jaws.
lcbryson *Warning- Spoilers*I am not sure why I must put a spoiler disclaimer to this as there is no way to spoil the insanely predictable plot and storyline. None the less, this was a highly entertaining film. I am not even sure where to begin. The outstanding acting? The totally believable dolls pretending to be people? The shark that blows up when hit with a spear? My only complaint and definite downfall to the movie was the false advertising on the cover of the DVD. The gigantic, mutanty shark breaking through the canals of Venice never appeared in the movie. I sat through 88 minutes of this thing, just waiting, and hoping, and praying that this beast of a monster would appear, but alas no radioactive shark came to be... Stephen Baldwin is a very underrated actor. His ability to pretend that such a script is serious, as you can tell by the lack of facial movements throughout the film, shows that this man excels in his career and is almost, just almost, Oscar worthy. And even better, the girlfriend of the drunk guy is obviously a woman of great skill and I felt, was very worthy of Best Actress. I am having a difficult time finding any movie to follow this cinematic masterpiece. Due to my excitement over this film, I plan on rushing out to purchase Shark Attack 1, 2, AND 3! Much vodka should be consumed before attempting to watch this film!
