A radioactive shark terrorizes the San Diego coast by causing swimmers and sunbathers to burst into flames. It's up to a few heroic lifeguards to kill the atomic shark.
Director A. B. Stone relates the enjoyably inane story at a zippy pace, stages the fiery attack scenes with aplomb, and maintains an engaging tongue-in-cheek tone throughout. Moreover, the sturdy cast play the silly material with commendably straight faces: Rachele Brooke Smith as the foxy and feisty Gina, Bobby Campo as the amiable Kaplan, Jeff Fahey as crusty boat captain Rottger, Adam Ambruso as antagonistic jerk superior Reese, David Faustino as skeevy pervert Fletcher, and Jessica Kemejuk as the vain and vapid Kylie. The tacky (far from) special CGI effects further add to this flick's considerable campy charm. A deliciously cheesy hoot and a half.
