While exploring a sunken ship near the coast of South Africa, "Samantha Peterson" (Nikita Ager) watches in horror as her sister is attacked and killed by a Great White shark. One week later she finds out that the same shark that killed her sister has been captured and put on display at nearby aquarium. Outraged that this creature hasn't been killed she attempts to do just that but is stopped by a man named "Nick Harris" (Thorsten Kaye) who just happens to be the same man who captured the shark in the first place. Not long afterward the shark kills again and then escapes which causes both Nick and Samantha to team up in order to destroy it once and for all. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that it pretty much takes up where its predecessor ("Shark Attack") left off with South Africa being the new location of choice. Likewise, it also borrows ideas from several other "shark films" with one example being the refusal of a local politician to close the beach after being warned of the danger lurking nearby. As a matter of fact, this scenario has become such a recurrent theme that it seems almost like a prerequisite for this particular type of movie. That being said, a few of the factors that elevates a film of this type to an acceptable standard for me is the level of suspense, the acting and the quality of the special effects. In that regard I thought that both Nikita Ager and Thorsten Kaye performed adequately enough but I didn't much care for the acting of Daniel Alexander (as "Roy Bishop") that much. Additionally, the special effects were somewhat uneven with some rather obvious flaws detracting from several rather good shark scenes. On the other hand, the director (David Worth) managed to maintain the suspense reasonably well and that was certainly a welcome feature. That said, I thought this movie was actually better in that regard than its predecessor and for that reason I have rated it slightly higher. Average.

once again here we are people bashing a movie that don't need to be bashed,, what is everyone's problem,, really do you expect Jaws,, Deep Blue Sea,, National Geographic's Shark Week, please tell me,, I didn't mind the movie at all, the difference is I can look past the crappy CGI and other small things that people will pick at, this movie wasn't trying to rip anyone off. some of the scenes may look similar from other movies but they are not direct ripoffs. i'll give you one example of a rip-off and that's Bruce Willis's Last Man Standing, scene for scene line by line almost total rip-off, this movie had some laughs, decent shark attack footage,, I watched it because it was a continuation of the first movie.. the plot is simple enough, they catch a shark , instead of just putting it somewhere safe they gotta put it in Water World, where it escapes,, later we find out there are 6 baby sharks, which aren't that small, and they are all near the beach... I didn't mind the movie at all, so people unless the movie rips off something line by line or scene by scene, it's not a ripoff.

If you are ever considering watching this DON'T. This movie offers nothing more than bad acting, shameful special effects, pathetic directing and a script obviously vomited out of the writers mouths. Seriously, putting out a movie of this quality is pathetic. The shark attack scenes are devoid of any tension and the sharks look less convincing than a man with a plastic fin on his back. The story about genetically altered sharks could have been decent like Deep Blue Sea but was just stupid. I mean, the sharks roar! What the f@!# is this sh#t is the main question to ask when watching this bast#rd of a film. How this got a sequel is a deeply disturbing mystery.

The acting might not be on quite the same level as Jaws, but the special effects just may be. They can seem kind of corny sometimes, but it comes across as being fairly realistic feeling. The South African scenery is gorgeous. I'd always heard Capetown was beautiful, but now I know. I didn't see too much of the black population of South Africa except for the mayor of the town, although many of the cast seemed to be natives. The setting was idyllic with the blue ocean surrounded by mountains looking like something out of the Caribbean. The heroine is a little on the edge, but cute. It is also a bit formulaic, but with a name like Shark Attack 2, what could you expect? I have not seen Shark Attack 1, or 3 for that matter, but I doubt they could match this one in intensity. Nothing exceptional, but overall, an enjoyable and interesting movie.
