Well Deserved Praise

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The opening title sequence looks as though it was edited with a stapler and scissors, as we watch motorcycle guy driving somewhere, as barely legible red titles, seemingly swaying in the breeze, appear against a black background. The motorcycle, and imitation Whole Lotta Love-clone song, abruptly starts and stops whenever the titles appeared. Motorcycle guy arrives at a bar, fights, drinks, and is nearly run over by a car, in one of the most poorly edited (yet unintentionally funny) scenes I've seen in quite a while. It really looks like a moustachioed guy gets into a red car, but changes into a dark haired girl in a blue car, straight from a demolition derby, who tries to run down motorcycle guy.When the soundtrack isn't ripping off Led Zeppelin, Eye Of The Tiger is played repeatedly throughout the opening moments, leading me to wonder if this is supposed to be a *feel good* movie, or did the filmmakers just really enjoy those particular tunes?Plot is a largely incomprehensible affair, with motorcycle guy kicking massive amounts of ass (for some reason), on land, and later, aboard a ship. His enemies eventually get the better of him, and tie him to a broken piece of wood, and throw him overboard. Then, 67 minutes into this barely 76 minutes-long movie, an incredibly poor model shark is briefly glimpsed, motorcycle guy stabs him repeatedly with a shard of wood, and 69 minutes into this movie, the shark sinks into the ocean, and dies.This movie is, in some territories, advertised as being a shark flick, even being bootlegged under the title, Turkish Jaws, and allegedly existing in Turkmenistan as Zombi 64: The Death Shark Massacre, because of that poorly done, two minutes-long scene, in which the shark kills no one. So much for it being a " massacre ", and the only * death * involved is its own.This does have some good action scenes, but some are drawn out to the point of absurdity, while the very attractive brunette shows off her body at every opportunity, but the film gets tiresome after the first 30 minutes. The fact that it apparently is available only in an unsubtitled Turkish doesn't help, either.
