Best movie ever!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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

Also known as "Sea Killer", this film was superbly photographed on Bora-Bora, using the romantic lead from "Hurricane" and a very attractive ingénue, Maren Jensen. Miss Swan is along just for comedy relief, and fortunately there is not too much of her as her post syncing is not the best! And whilst the shark is sometimes convincing, he is often an obvious dummy! But what is actually the most disappointing aspect of this movie is its sudden conclusion which simply leaves the story of the villainous brother and the Japanese entrepreneur up in the air. Never mind, Francis Lai's lovely music score makes up for a lot. The photography is also outstanding and the director sure knows how to get the best out of his action material. Even the underwater scenes (which are usually dull and repetitious in this sort of picture) are exciting enough to withstand the weight of some dull dialogue on land.

This movie dealt with environmental issues before it's time. Don't let the classic romantic plot put you off. There are some great lines at the start of the movie. It follows two girls on a visit to Bora Bora. The main character is going back to her homeland and she brings her American friend. The underlying theme is the beginnings of mass tourism in an unspoilt lagoon. The cinematography is amazing and there are some really beautiful scenes. Lots involving a shark and humans before the days of CGI. Don't let the background music (that could seem dated to some), put you off watching a film with superb acting and great respect to the people and culture of Bora Bora. A pleasant surprise.

This movie was terrible. It came on TV a few months ago and my girlfriend and I watched it because we were really, really bored. We kept watching it in hopes that it would become more interesting or more exciting. Never happened. This is precisely the kind of movie that should have been made fun of (and may have for all I know) on that show "Mystery Science Theater 3000" that used to come on the Sci-Fi channel. It was a show where this guy was a prisoner on a spaceship and his punishment was having to watch horrible movies all the time. He and his robot buddies sit down and you get to hear their wisecracking commentary the whole time. This would have been perfect for that.The acting was awful and uninspired. The story was stupid. The screenplay was dull and boring. That pretty much sums it up.

I saw this movie when I was 8 years old and I still remember it like yesterday. I have searched high and low for this movie and hopefully it will be available soon. Anyway, this movie is very touching and dramatic. I cried every time I watched it. This movie is a MUST to see and own! You will not regret it. :)
