I think, I have seen a lot of movies by now. But this one has to be one of worse if not the worst. The first scene of the movie shows the poor special effects that you'll see for the rest of the movie. Even though I am not native English speaker, I noticed how fake the acting was. I think I laughed for the first 20 minutes of the movie for that reason. I was thinking of it, as a parody of horror movies, but it is classified as a horror/action movie. The subject of the movie could be exploited much better. Unluckily, they were mostly worried to make the two main actors look like the hottest couple on earth. Well, the actress is indeed hot, and I don't doubt for many ladies the guy might be hot too. However, that's not what a movie is made of. The plot underestimates the audience, the end of the movie is highly predictable (almost from the beginning). The danger does not seem to scare the fearless heroes, even though this kind of heroes passed to history since Steven Seagal and Harrison Ford in the early 90's.In conclusion, do not expect anything from this movie. It is just disappointing. If you want to see the "hot" actors that will be all the reward you will have for your money.

With the advent of straight to video movies, a whole new genre of 'B' movie seems to be appearing. This is one of them. It can't seem to make up it's mind if it wants to be a horror movie, or a sci-fi movie or an action flick. In all honesty, it fails on all levels for ALL of them. Lorenzo delivers as good a performance as can be, considering the script. He counterpart is fun to look at, but she's only tolerable if you turn the sound down on your TV. The graphics leave a great deal to be desired, especially in a day and age where really, really good graphics are available at a reasonable price from a variety of start up animation companies. The sharks are reminiscent of "Anaconda" (the first one). Remember how bad the snakes were? The sharks are worse. Really. Unless you're desperate, I'd pass on this one. It has it's moments, but for the most part, it's an incredibly uncomfortable experience.

Wow, I knew this movie would not be very good, but I thought that maybe there would be something amusing about it. Not so! The sharks are ridiculous looking computer-generated blobs with lots of teeth. You could create a script like this by randomizing cliches such "It's my way or the highway" and "Damned if you do, damned if you don't". There wasn't really a plot, or a point to the movie. I must admit though, the cheese factor is pretty high on this movie. That is why I give it a 2. Yes, the leading lady is kind of hot, but this is a made for TV movie, so it's an empty threat. I like sharks, but the sharks didn't do anything interesting. They were the basis for all of the human interaction, nothing more.

"We go in on 3, ready... 3,2,1 Go!", is an example of the idiotic dialogue that plagues Dark Waters. Not to mention the scene where our heroes escape and go galavanting around the bridge of a sub on a top-secret mission and manage to convince the officers that they are on a tour. [note: this movie is not a comedy] Dark Waters insults the intelligence of the viewer. What do I know, maybe it IS possible to abandon ship at 5,400 feet. I score Dark Waters a 3, only because the action is plentiful and Simmone Mackinnon is HOT.
