Shark Bait

I didn't have many expectations for this movie. And in most ways, it was what I expected. One could not care about the people. They did a terrible job with blood. The body contains about 5 liters of blood (about 10 pints) yet some of the scenes it seemed like the person lost a gallon, and other times very little. The less said about the shark attacks the better. And it played to all the stereotypes of shark movies. A very mediocre movie done many times before. But what was a surprise for me was the camera work. They used a drone, and got some very good shots and also some very nice POV shots. The early scenes when they were racing the jetskis was visually done well. And even the underwater scenes were better than expected. Too bad the rest of the movie didn't meet those standards. I really am only giving it a four due to the camera work. It is simple entertainment and for that it serves its purpose.

Very predictable plot and full of clichés.

However, the movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and was actually entertaining. CGI was decent and the acting was good. It wasn't a complete chore to sit through so give it a watch.

Here's another shark attack thriller by James Nunn, the director who has made at least two great films previously, namely TOWER BLOCK and ONE SHOT. Sadly, this is a much lesser quality production, although his direction's fine; it's the script and story which are at fault here. There's very little that's novel or interesting about the group of characters who get stranded out at sea after a violent accident on the waves. The SFX are pretty decent and the pacing isn't bad at all given the budget, but when all of the characters are so unlikeable it's the kind of film that's tough to sit through without getting a little bored.

Story: A bunch of drunken, incredibly stupid total a-holes have a completely avoidable accident and get eaten by sharks.

All the characters are utterly unlikable and the movie is easily 30 minutes too long for its paper thin plot and dreadful writing.

If these had been real people you'd thank the sharks for doing the world a favour. Sadly they couldn't eat the film itself and save everyone that saw this some valuable time.

The movie was ok and not as bad as some of the reviews say yes there is room for improvement but as shark movies go I enjoyed it giving it a above average rating I've realised that taking notice of lots of negative reviews on here in many cases I've been pleasantly surprised but I also agree with many but I guess the only way one will know is to start viewing a movie that may have negative reviews but it still appeals to you for your own reasons .

Give it a try and be honest in your opinions rather than what I believe many write movies off far to easily . One last thing could the movie have been better yes it could have very easily but it was still not a bad flick.
