SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Michael Ledo Made for TV Asylum production. Do I need to continue?A wealthy cartel owner (Patrick Bergin) kidnaps a half dozen or so people to play a shark survival game. About 30 minutes into the film they figure out they were all somehow involved in his son's death. The shark footage look very different from the rest of the film, i.e. Ed Wood inserting stock footage into a film.Acting was sad as well as the dialogue.

Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki That's my entire review, although I am required to type more, or they won't post my review.After watching a series of really good movies lately (Cafe Society, Don't Breathe, Hell Or High Water, among a few others) I apparently felt compelled to torture myself, and watched this, one of the worst films I've seen this year. This is nearly unwatchable, a poor combination/ ripoff of shark attack flicks, and torture flicks.The opening title sequence is rushed through in less than 30 seconds, before we are taken on a lengthy, choppy tour of the greater LA area, as a number of people are kidnapped, and taken to some fruitcake's home. They are on a remote island, and they must fight their way through a variety of shark-related traps if they wish to live. They must also realise the chains they are bound in are obviously so loose they are almost falling off.It turns out this group is responsible for their captor's son's death, and, one by one he kills them, in retaliation. Spoiler alert, I guess. There are so many logic loopholes in the derivative screenplay, that the entire ordeal makes little sense, the effects never even rise to the levels of "so bad it's good", this film is so awful that I can barely even compose my thoughts right now.

TheLittleSongbird For The Asylum, Shark Week is not their worst or quite awful enough to be one of them. That doesn't stop it though from being a complete failure in every area, and that's even when you know what to expect. Some of the locations are nice and exotic but others also look as though they were shot in a run-down warehouse or basement. That cheap look is made even worse by the choppy editing and terrible special effects. If you've seen the quality of the sharks in other Asylum or SyFy movies that are similar, it's pretty much the same in Shark Week, the sharks are so cheaply rendered and not only don't look real but they don't look natural in their surroundings. They also don't have any personality either, which severely dilutes any terror or tension, the actors don't even look all that terrified when really the situation would be scary for anybody. The music is at a very sluggish tempo especially in the scenes containing action, the scoring of the build-ups to the attacks is predictable. The dialogue has always been one of the weakest aspects of an Asylum movie, and there is no change here as this is very cheesy and stilted scripting. And you don't connect with any of the characters, as with everything else Shark Week doesn't give time to develop them or you the time to properly root for them. The story just doesn't seem to have any life, Shark Week is very poorly paced throughout, the action shows the worst of the editing and lifeless choreography and the shark attacks suffer from a complete lack of tension and visual cheapness, if you're expecting to be afraid of going into seas now you won't get that vibe. It also seemed rather tame, you'd expect a crossover of Saw and Jaws to have a similar impact to those movies but here it feels like Saw but without the harrowing violence and Jaws without the eerie nail-biting suspense. The acting is very bad too, Patrick Bergin and Yancy Butler are far too over-the-top and don't make any effort to reign in and give their characters depth or any quality that makes you connect with them. While the acting of victims are wooden with nobody seeming to properly care about whether they lived or died. Overall, dull, cheap and not much fun at all, more avoided than recommended. 1/10 Bethany Cox

mikee4 The plot is awful, a rich eccentric drug tycoon wants revenge on 8 individuals so he captures them in order to have them play his game. The sharks in the film are horrible and in no way look real. They aren't even in the same frames as the actors, you either see a shark alone in the water or an actor being attacked or trying to escape. The acting is bad, but on par with other low budget shark movies. The movie drags on, boring you. If you can make it through the whole thing congrats, you just wasted an hour and a half of your life.I only checked this out because I like shark movies and this was new to netflix instant stream. Don't bother
