Marine Biologist Steven McKray (a sturdy and likeable performance by Casper Van Dien) uncovers a big sinister and nefarious plot while investigating a series of shark attacks in a small South African village.
Director Bob Misiorowski relates the enjoyable and engrossing story at a brisk pace, stages the bloody shark attacks and exciting action sequences with considerable go-for-it gusto, maintains an admirably sincere tone throughout, and delivers a satisfying serving of gruesome gore. The sound acting from the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Bentley Mitchum as unscrupulous scientist Dr. Miles Craven, Ernie Hudson as suave hotel owner Lawrence Rhodes, Jenny McShane as the foxy'n'feisty Corine DeSantis, and Tony Caprari as helpful and easygoing cab driver/fisherman Mani. Moreover, the filmmakers deserve extra praise for using stock footage of actual sharks instead of the usual cruddy CGI. A cool little movie.
