Uriah43 "Ben Carpenter" (John Barrowman) is in charge of beach security for a tourist resort in Mexico and one day, while venturing a little out of his territory, he discovers a huge shark tooth which has been embedded in an underwater cable. Curious as to what type of shark it belongs to he posts a picture of it online. Not long afterward he is met by a paleontologist for the San Diego Natural History Museum named "Jenny McShane" (Cataline Stone) who is eager to learn as much as possible about the tooth while revealing hardly anything. Unfortunately, when the shark begins attacking people near the resort Ben begins to demand answers and finds out that the shark isn't a normal shark. Instead, it happens to be a species that has been extent for a very long time--and it is very hungry. Now rather than reveal any more of this film I will just say that I thought it was proceeding along adequately enough for the first hour or so. The acting was okay and there was some decent suspense here and there. However, the wheels rapidly came off not long after that and it got amazingly bad in a hurry. Really, really bad. That said, I have rated this movie accordingly and I must warn viewers to steer clear if at all possible. You'll be doing yourself a favor.

Dom Nickson Spoiler Alert!!! It's really nothing but a bunch of recycled footage of scared people at the beach and the shark attacking on the surface. Like Jesus even I could get better shark footage in my bathtub with a robotic shark! Seriously these shark attacks are absolutely fake. The only 2 good attacks were when the guy jumps into it's mouth and the guy drives right into it's mouth. These two were really the only good moments in the whole movie. The rest was an utter disappointment, the lead girl wasn't even acting it looked like she was on the verge of laughing the whole time and it gets annoying pretty quick. I also like how it ends because it uses the quote of Liam Neeson in Star Wars Ep. 1 "There's always a bigger fish!" I give it a 2 out of 10 because of those two funny shark attacks and the brilliant ending.

leavesonline I had the wonderful experience of watching this movie with a scientist who studies sharks. However, watching this movie with anyone would have to result in an evening of hysterical laughter. Nothing about this movie makes sense.There are so many entertaining aspects of this movie it's almost hard to keep track; John Barrowman adds a shamelessly cheesy performance that only serves to highlight how much the female lead isn't trying. I loved that character; not only was she one dimensional but we knew she was a serious scientist because she had a dinosaur book on her desk. There's the nonsensical ex-sailor who pops up for no other reason than to cheer on our plucky heroes with corny slogans like 'it's the Navy way!'. Special recognition has to be given to the slimy bad guys and their unnecessarily complicated back story, especially the one who steals the lifejacket from the pretty young woman. Thankfully he gets his just desserts.Which brings us to the real stars of this marvel; the sharks. It must be a terrible problem for filmmakers; ever since Bruce the plastic shark from Jaws, viewers have come to expect actual sharks in their movies. In this masterpiece, the problem is solved with some photoshopped stock footage. This turns out to be a fantastic solution to problems such as scale; suddenly the shark that could swim through a doorway can also eat a boatload of people in one gulp.The makers of this may not have had high expectations of fame and fortune, but of all the marine biologist fighting giant oceanic predator flicks, this one stands out as a must-see.

Michael_Elliott Shark Attack 3 (2002)** (out of 4) If you haven't anything good to do then you might as well go crazy and create something incredibly cheesy and that's exactly what SHARK ATTACK 3 does. The basic storyline has a lifeguard/cop/something finding a large shark tooth that can't be identified except by one woman who just happens to know it belongs to a long-lost relative to the Great White that was thought to have died out with the dinosaurs. After many people are killed they finally kill the shark but then its 75-foot mother shows up for revenge. Yes, there's a seventy-five foot shark that shows up and yes we see her eat a raft full of people in one gulp. This film starts off pretty straight as we get the typical "shark talk" that is always featured in these types of films. We get to know our main characters, they begin to fall for one another and those dumb enough to go into the water are eaten in violent ways. For the first forty-five minutes this thing doesn't do anything out of the ordinary but when the mother shows up this thing just switches gears and goes for something completely different. I guess it will be up to the viewer in how they take this but I personally thought the first half was the better film but there's no question it's the second half that is going to make people talk and bring people to put this in their Netflix queue. As you'd expect, the performances are all rather poor and that includes our leads John Barrowman and Jenny McShane. At times you'd think they were just acting bad for the cameras and perhaps they were just trying to add up some campy moments but the line delivery is at times rather embarrassing. The rest of the cast aren't all that impressive either but to be fair most of them are only on screen to be eaten. As with the previous two films in the series, this one here features a lot of stock footage from documentaries about sharks as well as a few clips taken from the previous film. As you expect, none of the footage adds up very well and it's always obvious when a different shark is on screen. There are a couple fake sharks used as well and these aren't going to fool anything either. This entry takes thing up on notch in terms of gore and nudity, which will be a good thing to most who are viewing this thing. It's also worth noting that the sex scene here is one of the greatest in the history of cinema. Not because of the nudity but because they try to make it all romantic with slow motion and so on but it fails so badly that you'll be laughing until it hurts.
