Decent Shark Flick, but...


Why all the damn panic? I mean, you have to know that there is literally nothing you can do but perhaps be silent once you hit the open ocean. They were unbelievably child-like. I don't care if you see a school of sharks - unless something rips into you, you don't even give it a thought.

yeah OK tough guy. Most people would be so scared they would be frozen stiff if they saw something that big in the water with them.

I'd be so terrified, there'd be a cloud of my own waste surrounding me at all times. No shark would dare pass through that... ;)

Well yes, some of them were. I never got the feeling we were expected to believe they were experienced seafarers. Yes, a couple of them had more experience than the other three, who were rank amateurs. The yacht wasn't properly equipped either. These things do happen IRL, as do people panicking in situations where they should really try to remain calm.
