DVD Reviews of Shark Attack
DVD Review: Razor-sharp action thriller...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought Shark Attack just to see the lovely actor Jenny McShane in action, and she did not disappoint me. She's a fine actor, as is Casper Van Dien. I was particularly amused and entertained by the role of the cab driver who aided the main actors and was disappointed that he didn't appear prominently in the credits. His name is Tony Caprari and he was very impressive in his part, adding a welcome touch of humor on occasion.
The storyline: In a once-prosperous African fishing village, a rash of brutal shark attacks is terrorizing the population and destroying the local economy. When Van Dien's character, marine biologist Steven McKray, learns of the death of his scientist friend he is devastated. He teams up with the friend's sister (McShane)to discover what really happened and why the sharks are unusually aggressive. What they discover is a sinister plot to draw the sharks in towards shore for reasons I can't disclose without being a "spoiler," but I can say the bottom line is greed for "oil"
This film is filled with frightening shark scenes and wild car chases that end in fiery blow-ups; enough to keep anyone on the edge of his seat. It's a gripping movie with a good plot, good actors and the right amount of twists and turns to keep one guessing. Van Dien and McShane fight courageous battles to save their own lives as well as the lives of other villagers. Without telling too much, it was a stroke of genius for them to get the townspeople involved, especially with law enforcement being in cahoots with the villains.
It's predictable that McShane and Van Dien begin to care for each other, but who can object to that? Love makes the world go around and always adds an added dimension to any movie. And sure, as critics say, some of the shark scenes were obviously "canned," but those sharks sure seemed creepy and real to me. For a low-budget movie, I think the producers and director did an excellent job with this nail-biter.
And, boy, was it fun seeing the really, really bad guys get what was coming to them! What an ending!
Five stars and two-thumbs up!
