Am I Missing Something?

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

In 1712, the "Santa Cruz" is sidetracked by a storm while sailing for the Americas. The ship sinks. Hundreds of yeas later, handsome young Dean Cochran (as Jimmy Wagner) joins his father and an expedition diving for diamonds rumored to have gone down with the ship. A tragic shark attack occurs, but Mr. Cochran survives. Ten years later, Cochran is head man in a San Francisco beach community. He has a beautifully-proportioned wife, Brandi Sherwood (as Carrie). They have a cute son, Luke Leavitt (as Danny). Due to his traumatic experience, Cochran has bad dreams about sharks...After a swarm of killer sharks massacres a bunch of swimmers, Cochran wants to close the beach. Because there is a lucrative fiesta planned, business-minded mayor Alan Austin (as John Cortell) wants the beach open. Velizar Binev (as Volkoff ), a persuasive Russian, wants Cochran to help him find the "Santa Cruz" treasure. Since the diamonds went down in the "Shark Zone", it could be dangerous. This unexciting re-hash of "Jaws" (1975) looks like it was cobbled together from various sources. Appearing very choppy; it might have been the best they could do, under the circumstances.*** Shark Zone (10/14/03) Danny Lerner ~ Dean Cochran, Alan Austin, Brandi Sherwood, Velizar Binev

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.

Just when I thought I already watched the worst movie I ever will long ago,Shark Zone comes along on my TV screen.It had that B-movie feel from the start.The plot has to do with evil Russians and diamonds and somehow sharks get thrown into the mix.The heros son gets kidnapped and he is forced to help the Russian mob get diamonds from a wreck which is in a place infested with sharks.Give me a break.That sounds like the plot for a TV series episode rather than a movie.Crap like that shouldn't be an hour and a half long. The acting was horrible.Once you see the acting in this movie you start to appreciate good acting.In the crunch scene he kills the mob leader and the boat catches fire,he and his unscathed son magically appear on the speed boat speeding away from the burning wreck,hows that for action. I am glad I didn't pay money to watch this movie.

Okay, the beginning is stupid because great whites don't hunt in packs, and the woman with blonde hair is never shown being eaten but the story says she was... when he has a dream with his wife getting eaten, it's like slow mochine, and at the beach the sharks roar above and below the surface, and sharks din;t roar. The director must be completely idiotic, and i mean in the beginning while they swim they talk to each other but their no device with them allowing them to communicate with each other. I mean come on, i would have sat through shark attack which is one of the most boringest shark attack films I ever saw. So don't waste your time on this garbage. The director and crew wasted their time working on this junk. I give the rating a : F- because the movie is one of the worst cheesiest b-movies I ever saw. So don't waste your time watching this.
