Just what I expected

Good concept, poorly executed.

Fantastic!

Crappy film

Hey guess what? This movie is not good. The top billed star gets killed almost immediately. Casper Van Dien is at best a B movie actor and this is no exception. Although he is a lot better than the two killer cops, especially the one who laughs like a maniac when he cuts or busts someone. At first I thought Dr. Craven was one of the bad guys. Turns out he was just ethically challenged. Ernie Hudson does a decent job as the rich but evil town magnate. At the end did anyone NOT see him getting killed by one of the sharks? This is so much a B movie that vehicles, boats, and helicopters just start blowing up towards the end. I like the guy Manni. Good enough acting and I liked his accent. At the end of this movie the fishermen come to the rescue and everyone except Dr. Craven is saved, well almost. Craven is killed but he is a good guy at the end. I also like that everyone with a sidearm is using a revolver. What security person or cops use them now days instead of an automatic?

One of the most underrated creature features ever made, 'Shark Attack' is an action packed monster fest that actually does a good job at entertaining.Sure, it's not as good as 'Jaws' or 'deep Blue Sea' , but at least it got the job right.So why is this movie getting so many negative reviews? I liked it.I didn't love it,but I found it to be enjoyable.The real stars of the movie are Casper Van Dien from 'Python' and Jenny McShane from 'Shark Attack 3: Megalodon'.They both did a really good job in the movie and should do another creature feature together.Although not excellent, this movie does deliver plenty of action and entertainment.

I saw this movie three years ago on tape when i rented it. since i live right across the street from it i walk there. I was going through all these films in the 's' section. i came across shark attack 3, shark zone, shark hunter, when i came across a tape of shark attack. i had seen the third many times, so i thought it would be a great film to laugh at. while walking home, i had to stop every five seconds to look at the boxart and read the back and look at the tape, it took me an hour to walk 5 hundred feet when it usually takes me 20 minutes. When i put it in, the first five minutes were boring. 15-20 minutes into the film i was so distracted by all the people in the house because they were family i made it to the part where he is talking to a guy in a lab with shark things all around him. since a few other people were watching it i left it on, i decided to watch it some other day and never did and they were selling tapes and somebody else bought it and i'm gonna buy it soon. All i can say is the film's first half hour is boring, but it has a lot of action, so it is okay, the paragraph above is just to keep you entertained because there isn't a lot to say about this junk, just treasure how bad the film is. 4/10 stars.

Let's not waste too many words on this piece of junk, as I certainly don't want to be the one responsible to raise any interest and make more people suffer through it. "Shark Attack" is an unendurably stupid movie with no redeeming elements whatsoever: unoriginal plot, lame and overly fake action-sequences, no tension dull characters and – worst of all – absolutely no sense of humor! I usually like B-creature features but there's nothing as pathetic as an animals-revolting-violently-against-humans premise that takes itself too seriously! The completely untalented Casper Van Dien stars as a scientist (yeah…he sure looks like one) who travels to an African fishing town because the increasing amount of shark attacks there and one of the victims was his old high school buddy Marc. Upon arrival he discovers that another scientist is trying to genetically use the sharks for the developing of a cancer vaccine. Breeding sharks for medical reasons, hmm… Now where have we seen that before? Oh yeah, Renny Harlin did the same with his "Deep Blue Sea" and that wasn't a very good film neither! Some of the dialogues are so bad they hurt your ears and the acting is really lousy. There's no horror here, neither, unless you consider the dissection of several shark-cadavers to be grueling. The James-Bond style climax is ridiculous and the concluding moral of the film is that animals can't be mean-spirited by nature…humans always the evil driving force behind everything. Yawn! Better watch "Jaws" again, even though it's for the 200th time.
