Desespero Profundo

This definitely isn't gonna be the best film of the year, but it is decent and entertaining to watch. Most actors do a solid job, most notably the main actress, even though the boyfriend and the best friend characters could have benefited from better directing and a few more acting classes. There was some unnecessary backstorying involved with the side characters and you do have to suspend belief for a few of the scenes, but nothing you don't already do with most shark films. I enjoyed the dry humor and the witty dialogue, and was heavily engaged by the time the last part rolled around.

It really isn't one of those horrible-low budget-bad acting-disaster films most reviewers on here claim it is, definitely judge by yourself.

Haven't seen so much tripe in all my years, how do people pay to watch this mediocre rubbish is beyond me. The only interest I had in it was the shark story, as we are all still gripped by Jaws, but this took it to new depths !! From poor acting to no real story it never got off the "sea bed", apologies for the poor joke probably as bad as the film. If you are a film lover and a student of the arts, this is not for you by a country mile, stick to the muppet show or Sesame Street if you're that way inclined. Me, I'm off to watch jaws again to redeem my faith in decent shark movies - please be kind if you are replying to my appraisal 😀

This is a film about a Teddy who survives being lost in an airport, a plane crash and sharks only to be heartlessly tossed back onto the dark watery depths by his owner! Justice for Mr Timms!!!

I realise it wasn't setting out to be an epic and it's quite entertaining, I did keep shouting, not sure sharks do that and I'd have liked some of the minor characters to have a bit more of an arc but hey, it does what it says on the tin. One character does something toward the end that I found particularly frustrating, I just don't think that would be a choice a grandmother would make but hey we are not looking for realism. That poor Teddy though.

This was a lot better than i was expecting, in fairness to it.

There was a bit of scene setting and then it was right into the action with passengers one by one getting munched by the over grown Goldfish of the deep.

It was well shot, at times the script was a bit lacking, and most of the main characters were decent enough, though the lad who broke his arm in the crash was one you just had no interest in as he was far too obnoxious in the opening scenes.

It did a decent job in building a bit of tension, though, for me anyway, it was obvious which characters were going to survive from early on, so although it succeeded in the tension, it did lack in suspense.

It's certainly better than some of the reviews would suggest. It's not going to be an 'Oscar' nominated film, but it's by no means awful.

No way up was certainly interesting, the premise also being as believable as flying sharks. Sure, it was a strange movie, but it isn't Oscar Worthy material, was it fun? Yes. Was it entertaining? Yes. Was the acting mostly good? Another Yes. Not every movie has to be an Oscar worthy film, some films are better that way, take "Meg films" for example, they are just a good fun time, where you do have to suspend your disbelief. So let's review "No way Up".

Perfectly starts out with a beautifully Haunting score, along side some nice imagery that's well crafted in the action set-piece. Some stunning imagery of the Water takes place in this scene and its truly wonderful to look at. We then eventually see a person drowning and she's been caught by the Shark. This is where we are then taken to the present day.

We see our Characters going on board a plane. There's some nice scenes and the acting is fine. Hank was most noticeably a fun grandpa, that seemed to know how to have fun. The acting from the grandparents is exceptionally great. And Brandon being the carer of a rich man's daughter was nice to see.

However when they are on the plane, things become bumpy. Some of the wings have been hit, and this leads to another issue, can it be stopped and controlled. The reassurance was a realistic part of the film, likewise with the safety proceeder too, some realism there. Then the Planes wing starts to over heart. The young girl (Ava), shows off some great acting. And then we are seeing the wings fly out and some even hit the plane. Causing the plane to move and tilt. Whilst also breaking part of the plane, causing deaths, and suvillains lives are at greater risk.

Our Characters bearly make it out alive. Which is a miracle they even did. We then get some nice moments with our Characters, and it becomes an intense thrill-ride after a verouchous Shark seems to lurk beneath them. It was entertaining. And some sad, but also nice Character moments. With ultimately good acting.

For a low Budget film, it really doesn't deserve some of the HATE it gets. Overall, I enjoyed this film on the whole, and think it was a good fun time. That is coming from a fan of Shark Flicks though. But I like how they rationalised there situation and worked as a team. So the big question.

Would I recommend this film?

Shark Fans, Yes. Suspend your disbelief multiple times, if you find that funny then yes. Everybody else can stay clear.
