Waste of time

Sick Product of a Sick System

Great Film overall

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Spoiler Alert! At least the shark doesn't growl like other stupid movies have to use to make the shark seem menacing! It seems like this film, Deep Blue Sea, Jaw 1 and 2 got it right. Bait was another decent film but it needed more character development I thought. This film however has fine buildup but the way they killed the shark was really weak. I was always a big fan of shark films when I was younger and I'd always rent this because it's the only other one besides the 4 others I mentioned that did really well. Lou Diamond Phillips does pretty well I must say. Bottom line the movie was pretty good up until the very end when they kill the shark.

Channel 5 broadcast this immediately after showing the 2010 version of PIRANHA . This is very lazy transmission but you can see the thematic logic of this . What it does mean is that a film like RED WATER comes off second best compared to a in your face comedy horror spoof because this is a very conventional , flat movie featuring a killer shark RED WATER gets off to a fairly good start . You want to grab an audience's attention? Well what better way to grab every man's attention by having a couple of cuties swimming in a lake wearing very skimpy bikinis . Even better a couple of minutes later the action cuts to a bad guys swimming pool where some really hot women walk around in bikinis . The board on this page has a few comments noticing this somewhat cynical crowd pleasing scene and all state this is in fact the best part of the film . You got hot chicks in bikinis and it's the best part of the film ? Yes it says a lot about the movie you're watching No matter how many hot chicks you can cram in to a movie you'd better have a story to go with it and how many great films have you seen featuring sharks that weren't directed by Steven Spielberg ? You'd also do well to remember RED WATER is one of those made for television movies so goes out of its way not to offend the audience . Example ? Someone gets eaten by a shark and a verbal reaction to this scene of horror is " Damn "

Red Water (2003, Dir. Charles Robert Carner) In the quiet waters of the Mississippi, body parts are being discovered. No one knows what is behind it all, until a huge man eating bull shark turns up. This bull shark is different, as it can breath in fresh water, making a deadly encounter between anyone who comes before it. John Sanders must now try and reach the surface, with his ex-wife and whilst being held hostage.It's very, very rare that i write a review for a film before it's actually finished, but for 'Red Water', i was that bored, i just needed something to do. This movie was just painful to get through. It was just too slow to start with and dragged on too much. The actors aren't the greatest and this really showed. I actually found Coolio very annoying during this film. The characters were useless, with no feelings felt at all towards deaths. The special effects were quite poor. They started off OK, but seemed to decrease in quality before the end of the film. The shark effect was more impressive than the explosions. If you want an enjoyable shark film, then choose a more professional made film."Get your ass off that ladder before i knock you off." - Ice (Coolio)

Oh, you may like your shark up North with all those bikini-clad girls cavorting on the beach, but there is nothing like a little Cajun music to liven up the party. This shark came down the river in Louisiana (yes, there is one shark that goes in freshwater) and snacked on some divers that were seeking buried loot.Lou Diamond Phillips leads a cast that includes the original Buffy, Kristy Swanson, who despite appearing totally naked in magazines, has never exposed herself on film. Our loss as she is one incredible beauty. The token rapper that seems to be a feature of today's B movies was Coolio.Lots of action as the bad guys and the oil people clash over a spot of water that holds rewards for both with the bull shark joining in to make it a party.
