Aguas sangrientas

Like the previous comment, they have fished this Dry. In fact this movie didn't stray too much from the original with scenes and the dialogue. If anyone stole this movie it was Coolio! Because I didn't expect that much from him anyways. Lou Diamond Phillips and Kristy (I Love You) Swanson should seriously consider training for another career because if this is what they are being offered they need to really rethink things. Back to the movie - Jaws in fresh water with a Bull Shark. Bad Guys make things difficult for Good Guys. Greedy Oil Company Guy vs Greedy Criminal Guys - innocents in the way. Throw in Bad Shark and a "Love Reconsilliation Story". That should be it. Avoid This Movie at all Costs!!!!!

This movie was described by the actors, as being "unlike any other shark movie out there". I didn't find that to be true when watching this movie. The shark is killing people, the authorities at hand want the shark killed (for a handsome reward). The acting of is mediocre and somewhat very corney at times, screen cuts and slow motion sequences are cliche, and the ending (and pretty much the whole movie) is predictable. Lou Diamond was by far the best talent on the screen, and did his best to carry the film.

Overall, not a GREAT movie, but better than the later Jaws movies (and thats not hard to beat). :-)

It's a shame that us American seem to be so totally incapable of making low budget horror movies when those all around us - The Japanese and the Brits are miles ahead. The whole film is just so throw away and the special effects are terrible. This is a real old fashioned boring mess...

Then again, I think that just about anything Lou Diamond Phillips does is good. THAT is a true fan, in my opinion. The shark looked very real...even moreso than the one in the "Jaws" movies. Granted, there was a substantial amount of blood and gore, but it was a horror movie so that's to be expected. There still wasn't as much of that in "Red Water" as there was in "Jaws" (any of them). OK, that's all of my "review"...Now I have to ramble to make up the 10 line minimum...lol! As I said before, NOTHING Mr. Phillips does (in my opinion) is bad or something I wouldn't want to watch again, so maybe I'm not really the right person to review any of his movies...lol!

I liked the setting and most of characters better in this film. I like Lou Diamond Phillips and found the spiritual buddy "Emery" pretty cool too. "Ice" was a little bit much but maybe that's what he would be like if he was forced to go out into the bayou. It was lower budget but just as suspensful. I don't watch a lot of commercial TV so I have missed all the Jaws reruns and I skip the shark attack weeks so maybe this seemed fresher to me.
