The expectation one has when one plunks "Piranha" in the DVD player, is that it will be a monster-horror film about the flesh-eating fish of the Amazon. In any of these old monster films, we necessarily have some uneventful part of the story to watch, that sets the stage for the scary parts. But I watched through more than half of this film with no sign of ever getting to the monsters. And the plot to that point was near total boredom. It was a struggle to keep watching.
I got well into the part when the "bad guy" comes on the scene. The character, Caribe, played by William Smith, is supposed to add some mystery and fright to the film, but it's quite mundane. After I gave up on the film ever amounting to much, I read some other reviews and see that there is very little in it at all about the fish. Apparently, it turns more into a dark mystery-horror film. But don't take my word. This film is so slow and uninteresting that I gave up on it.
