As a kid from the 80's growing up in Lundgren's prime, I still find the man massive on the screen, especially when he's not doing a movie that evolves other action heroes, which I have not seen him do in a while.

The big man plays a convicted wild life trafficker trying to make contact with his daughter who's being protected by a small town sheriff who took her in after he went to jail. Now it seems only Lundgren can stop a shark infestation happening on the lake they all live on. I make it sound more action packed than it really is.

It's the most original antagonist Lundgren has ever faced. It's too bad the special effects on his antagonist was so crappy or they could have really had something good here.

It tries to be Jaws but nothing can top that. It rips of Piranha 3D, but at least those movies are not trying to be something they are not.

Although Shark Lake did have it's fun moments, like a Steve Irwin type who hunts down fish for the BBC, it's funny for all the wrong reasons.

With that said, It does have a, so bad it's good, quality to it, and is worth watching just to smile at how horrible it is.

My quick rating - 3,5/10. Really bad. I do appreciate the CGI swimmers against a underwater backdrop that has to be public domain video at this point. The movie is laughable to that level and the only shimmering glimpse of hope is the story? Did I really just say that? If you take away the stupid supposed horror element of normal sized bull sharks hanging out in a lake you actually have a somewhat interesting idea. The romance involves the dealer that sells exotic animals and something he lets lose in the water happens to have babies and is a shark. OK, dumb there, but when it is revealed for other purpose just seemed like the story warped two together since he did so to get back with his ex. OK, sounds dumb, but I saw a glimmer of hope, didn't say it was great. Either way, avoid this movie but maybe Jerry Duggan has something up his sleeve(if he hangs onto his screenplay writer) for something better.

Shark Lake is a B grade flick without the bite found in mainstream films like Jaws.

This film relies too much on munch-able eye candy in the form of scantily clad men and women, where a proper storyline, lots of action and accompanying quality creature effects, would have taken it so much further.

The acting ranges from average through to awful. This film would have been much better, for example, without the fake English shark hunter. A clichéd characterization that would make any real Brit wince.

So is there any basis on which on recommend Shark Lake? Well, its not utterly dreadful but its action scenes are so watered down (pardon the pun), that what should have been the driving force, in a film of this kind, is mostly absent. Three out of ten from me.

It's not the worst movie ever made, but it may feature the worst CGI ever. At least movies like Sharknado don't take themselves seriously, and for that reason, they succeed in being entertaining at least.

Shark Lakes budget clearly went into paying Dolph Lundgren and while he's not exactly known for his acting abilities, this is probably the worst movie he has ever appeared in.

This movie has no humor, no likable characters and when you see the shark you will most likely want to turn off like I did. There is no reason to watch this movie, ever!

Do yourself a solid and just watch Jaws again if your looking for your shark fix!

I couldn't even finish this trash.

I like Dolph Lundgren & i like Low-budget B-movies & i like the Killer Shark genre but this was a joke.

Absolute Crap.

When he was in his heyday in the mid to late 1980s, with a Bond and a Rocky smash behind him, it must have seemed to Lundgren that he would wind up in the 'Stallone/Schwarzenegger' bracket with strings of mega smash box office hits and multi million dollar contracts. Sadly for him, it didn't quite pan out that way with a stream of dreadful B movies coming his way instead from studios desperate to get a smash on their hands. If I were him I'd be looking to dish out a Drago style beating to my handlers for landing me a load of crappy roles in films with 'The XXXXX' in the title... A plus for him is that he isn't the worse performer in this pile of doo doo, which must be the dreadful female lead. The film is surprisingly good fun with all the silliness, cheese, and dreadful acting and ludicrous scripting you'd expect. The cinematography is also worth a mention, some of the nature shots are quite stunning. Harmless inoffensive twaddle at best.

Laughably terrible on many levels! As repeatedly mentioned in other reviews the CGI (CGI is nothing more than modern day Saturday morning cartoons!) was terrible. Look close on the opening scene to see the CGI shark swimming from the sinking van with Dolph. Then the really sad shark silhouette trailing the boat pulling the two girls on parachutes. How does the shark know when the one girl is going to drag her foot in the water at high speed? Impossible & hence stupid. Lane is terrible in her acting. She is stiff in all her movements, like maybe she is uncoordinated/nonathletic. They do not develop at all that she somehow adopts Dolph's daughter while he is in jail. She does everything wrong in her part as a cop. Repeated illegal searches of residences (i.e. no warrant), resulting in illegal seizure of evidence which is inadmissible. She and her partner abandon/leave the 3 year old girl alone in the house full of wild, dangerous animals, in the opening scene to chase Dolph. She shoots Dolph in the opening scene with zero justification for the shoot. If Dolph was black ANTIFA & BLM would destroy another 14 billion dollars in property & kill another several dozen people. Did they not have a law enforcement technical advisor on set?!? Dolph does a decent job but can't carry this abomination of a movie. Not enjoyable. Save yourself and hour and a half and let this one go by...

A mind-shattering masterpiece, assuming you have a mind to shatter.

Dolph.

What more needs to be said? 5 more lines? OK!

Take Ghostbusters, remove the ghosts and the buses, add in a dash of Apocalypse Now and Total Recall, then remove the jungles and mars, and you get Twister. But add Twister to Deep Blue Sea and you get Sharknado. I'm not even joking there, that was a real thing they made like 6 of them.

Anyway, this move has sharks and Dolph, maybe nimature golf. I don't know.

Wow. People have shredded this movie - from the actors, to the script, to the sharks. The only truly valid point is the sharks. I suppose not that big enough of a budget to get some really great effects - but we still are able to get the visual point. And, really, it's a B movie people. Other than the sharks, the rest was enjoyable. Plenty of good ol' roll your eyes moments, but then a few quality honest to goodness surprising happenings as well. I thought the acting was fine, only once or twice was I tossed from being engrossed in the movie. I think mostly when the reality tv guy was there. Of course the setting was beautiful. Lots more I could say, but it would get into the land of spoilers.... Bottom line - if you love shark movies, are running out of them lol, this is your next top choice. It's all downhill from here.

You have to appreciate Dolph Lundgren's tenacity to make movies, he churns out robust quantity of them in last year alone. Unfortunately, in Shark Lake he seems like just a famous name slapped into the title and poster, while being almost completely isolated from the main plot. The movie itself is appealingly bad, this is the level of sloppy presentation equal to random death scene in telenovela with silly fake shark fin, which admittedly surprising to see outside cartoon.

It all goes down in a formulaic monster movie plot, if you haven't predicted it already, there's a lake and shark on it. Cue the montage of silly party girls, stupid death scenes, incompetent authority figure, but wait, it has Dolph Lundgren. However, he's more of a subplot, separated from the rest. It's almost like an average action portion glued to a monster movie.

This is pretty disappointing since the best spark the movie has is the simple family drama. No one would form connection to plastic shark, but audience may relate to Dolph Lundgren as the ex-con trying to bond with her estranged little daughter. It is the closest to sincerity on this movie, yet it occurs too little too late.

Concerning the actual threat, it's undeniably horrible. The visual is incredibly bad, using cheap editing, poor animation effect and actual fake shark fin. The corpse of mechanical Jaws rolls on its watery grave. One can even see the drop in quality when transitioning from day to night. It looks so fake that it would've worked as parody, yet the movie insists on the gritty dark look, it's a bit sad really.

Shark Lake is, by no intention of itself, a parody of Jaws. The brief appearance from Dolph Lundgren can't save it and merely serves as timid advertisement.

It's not Jaws, but it doesn't need to be! Get over it. For what it is, I liked it.

Look-when you see tha stars and read the plot, you know what you signed up for. Sharknado meets Lake Placid. Dolph mumbles and the graphics look like they came off a Commadore 64.

Not the best.

Quite possibly the dumbest collective group of people ever featured in a movie. The shark was easily the smartest creature of the bunch. Sara Maluka Lane's character couldn't have been more unlikable if the intent of this movie was solely to make you hate her. Shark flicks are usually reliable time-killers but this seemed to take forever to end. God Dolph Lundren must have really, really needed a paycheck.

Like my title says, even when some divers are underwater swimming, you can clearly see how fake this is.. I mean, people who make movies should know about motion tracking??? Also the movement of the sharks was very unnatural. I think the CG was better in jaws II, and yes, i am dead serious.

The fakeness of the CG in this movie made it unwatchable for me. i can not tell a lot about the story, because i really could not waste more time on this pile of crap.

Man I can not believe in 2015 those CGIs are still allowed to appear on screen. I do understand that sometimes you're on a tight budget, but come one, if you going to make a movie about a shark, well...these guys right here couldn't even make a decent flipper. I mean seriously, even that is pc made, which makes this movie, quite a joke.

There is a plot to it, there is an well known actor but not the star of the movie, and a quarter of execution here, as well as all the boredom you can imagine. It wanted to be a shark movie, and it failed by all means possible, and the shark... it was bad.

I mean, I'm going to recommend you Shark Night 3d, or Bait, both cheesy movies that are so bad they're fun, and of course, little baby Jaws compared to Shark Lake.

Cheers!

I really like Dolph Lundgren as an action movie star. This movie was terribly written & could've been way better. The girl sheriff deputy/police woman part was terribly horribly written more than anything else. I could easily explain and describe what was terribly horribly written in her part which is almost all of it but I don't want to put in any spoilers in this review. It's funny that in a couple few years Dolph Lundgren plays in SharkNado 5 though.

It's not as bad as some, I've sat through some horrifically bad shark films, films where you really hope the plastic shark runs amok eating everyone and everything in sight. This film doesn't quite fall into that bracket, as it's semi watchable nonsense. The idea is quite intriguing, but after a rather decent start it begins to fall apart a little. The special effects are really bad, any hint of threat is removed by the poor special effects, but worse still is the acting, I will always watch a film with Dolph Lundgren, a bit of an 80's legend, and his acting is fine, but everyone else is so wooden. I wonder if most of the $2m budget went on his fee, rather then wages and special effects budgets. There's not much else to say to be honest, it's not abysmal, but it's far from good. 4/10

I know what I get myself into when I watch this types of movies. When I saw Dolph in a shark movie as an animal smuggler. I got excited, it's like Nick Cage In Primal. People gotta understand just because the movie isn't made by big companies doesn't mean it's a bad movie. Just don't be critical and you will enjoy it.

Let me start off by saying that Shark Lake is a good movie. It's entertaining, exciting, and for the most part the acting is good. That being said, the sharks and gore look really fake, and the police characters are bad. They don't follow any kind of police protocol I'm aware of and they seem entirely incompetent. There also isn't enough Lundgren vs. shark which is the whole reason I watched the movie, but I love shark movies and this one is pretty decent so I'm happy I watched it.
