first off I don't care if they made numerous mistakes on the movie,, the people on here that constantly nit pick a movie to death really get on my nerves.. I wanted sharks, killing, blood, and breasts. well I got all four,, . the most irritating part of the whole movie I thought was our lead female actress. she looks like a porn star and not a mom. other than that I liked the movie.. just for the over the top violence blood guts, and killings, and of course the graititous nudity when presented. there are way many worse movies out there people.. this isn't one of em,, sure the acting ain't' great , I give you that one,, but the action if fair enough.. decent shark footage,, and I really don't care if people think it came from national geographic either,,

Combine yards of shark stock footage with TV production values and a cast of toothpaste models, and you're in the Shark Zone. A territorial school of Great White Sharks collaborate to upset the local seaside economy, while protecting a sunken treasure from ruthless Russian interests. Abysmally poor acting and the incessant overuse of shark footage ground this attempt shortly after take-off.While diving in a sunken ship rumoured to be coveting a treasure trove of jewels, the motley crew are promptly dispatched by a school of ferocious white pointers. Before you can mumble "look out!", sharks are darting in every direction, a symphony of carnage punctuated by the sounds of body chomping, gory visuals of dismembered limbs and the obligatory crimson stained water. So frantic is the bedlam, that it seems like dozens of hapless victims are devoured, when in fact there's only about four fatalities.As the soul survivor, Jimmy ends up becoming a marine biologist (was there ever any other alternative?) for the local council, and despite the occasional nightmare involving loved ones being torn to pieces by marauding sharks, he's an otherwise well-adjusted, doting father and husband to a absolute babe of a wife. Things gets spicy when a Russian businessman arrives, eager to discover the whereabouts of the hidden treasure, which leads to blackmail, corruption and ultimately, more human chum for the ravenous sharks.Initially, the prospect of witnessing real shark footage interspersed with artificial beasts seemed novel and potentially convincing. Dismiss that thought in an instant, as the reliance on using loops of identical shark footage becomes so hackneyed, that even the real deal starts to look less menacing than the props. Overall, it's tripe and laboured, with stilted acting and an over-abundance of sub themes and plot diversions. Recommendation - watch it once for posterity, and exit the Shark Zone post haste.

Well one thing is immediately blatantly obvious from watching this......it was filmed on the cheap with a capital 'C'. However, as the saying goes, cheap and cheerful which incidentally is entirely applicable to the film in question.There's simply no point in trying to judge this film on it's technical merits, nor it's logic, nor the story, nor the acting performances. Nor is there any point bemoaning the fact that our Great White shark friends in this have suffered some almost libellous character defamation, whereby here they growl(!), pack hunt(!) and love nothing better than hanging around sunken galleons snacking on unsuspecting divers.No, the best way to judge this flick is on its pure entertainment value and in this respect it scores highly.Just marvel at some of the most obviously studio filmed scenes set on boats (my God! - you can even see the seams in the canvas 'sky'!), laugh your pants off at the franticly edited shark attack sequences (in reality stock Great White footage spliced into newly filmed scenes with flaying divers in reddened water whilst the camera is violently shaken around like crazy and exaggerated chomping noises are overdubbed on the soundtrack!) and finally spot the multiple instances of stolen footage from the Shark Attack series(!!!)Yes, this is undeniably a mightily bad movie......and an immensely satisfying one at that!

I have seen this film 3 times, and its excellent. i love shark movies, this film is nothing like jaws. All the shark scenes, the producers have used real great white sharks. The killing of the victims is superb, especially when they kill then really fat Russian guy. I would really recommend watching this film. The story line is all about sunken treasure and they have the good going to the bottom of the sea to obtain it. Even though he knows about the sharks he doesn't let on. There is one scene when the big fat boss gets eaten, they used footage of a real great white swimming vertically and eating the prey whole. so it looks as if the shark had eaten this guy and u can its body chopping away but whole if you what i mean.Any shark lovers will love this film.
