IMDb plot summary: After escaping an attack by what he claims was a 70-foot shark, Jonas Taylor must confront his fears to save those trapped in a sunken submersible.
Directed by Jon Turteltaub. Starring Jason Statham, Bingbing Li, Rainn Wilson, and Cliff Curtis.
Oh, this movie is absolutely ridiculous, and definitely too long for what it is, but it at least knows what it's doing and has a good time ramping it up. Seeing it on the big screen, the giant shark is pretty effectively thrilling, and they do some great cheesy reveals of it. It's goofy and terrible and a lot of fun.
2.5 stars.
