I've watched this movie about four times now. Why? Because Simmone Mackinnon puts on a wet T-shirt show throughout almost the entire movie. And I've hated it every time. **SPOILERS** The plot revolves around a secret government research project (run by Lamas' father) involving killer sharks. The research lab is located aboard a submarine, and through completely unbelievable circumstances, Lamas and Mackinnon wind up on the sub.The biggest problem is the characters - they're utterly detestable. I don't care if they're lying, cheating thieves; those I count as endearing qualities. What I can't stand is the fact that they're so incredibly conceited, like a couple of self worshiping, petty school children. Mackinnon was really lousy in Deep Shock and she's really lousy in this as well. Lamas also manages to reach a new low.The other gigantic problem is that the lead characters become mass murderers towards the end. Lamas' father, the project leader for creating killer sharks, has decided that the project isn't going to be successful. So he decides to wipe out all data from the project, so it won't be continued. However, with the laboratory located on a submarine, wiping out all the data apparently requires killing everyone aboard. The astute viewer may have noticed that there are lots of people on submarines, even the ones that don't have secret shark research facilities on board. That's because the vast majority of those people are involved with keeping the submarine running - they don't have any connection to secret projects. Yet, with the help of Lamas and Mackinnon, they are all killed. In fact, if one were to really pay attention, you'll notice the father would have killed his son, if not for the totally unbelievable escape they make after he's sabotaged the ship.But of course that isn't enough for this movie. After the death a hundred or so sailors, most of whom were guilty of nothing more than some terrible over acting, Lamas makes a speech about how he gained so much character from his father.Oh brother. This is just about the dumbest thing you're ever likely to see.The submarine keeps springing leaks which spurt out like someone holding a shower nozzle up to Mackinnon's T-shirt. That's the intelligent part of the movie.

Simmone Mackinnon. There have been many movies about sharks and Lorenzo Lamas is an good actor, but, what made this film tick was the acting of Simmone Mackinnon. I hope her talent does not go un-noticed, if it does, she should dump her agent. I am looking forward to see how her career goes. Because of her I gave an above average high rating. She is also in the movie "Python 2", again her acting as a Russian woman married to an American made the movie. Also in that movie was William Zabka, from "Karate Kid". Simmone Mackinnon has great acting talent and beauty, she should do well in the movie business.

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.

Really a pathetic attempt of any kind of movie. Of course when I see DEJ productions, i know it is going to be bad, but i have a soft spot for this. Lorenzo does ok, and Simmone Mackinnon is just really nice to look at. The rest is just sad and don't anyone waste their time. I keep hoping one of these days i will see something that is really good! They even had the guy who fought Morpheus on top of the moving Semi-truck star in his movie! I think that is the best i have seen from them. I think it was called "Global Effect" or something like that. Even that would be lucky to get a 4! I kept waiting for a story! Oh i guess it was there I just must have missed it. I will continue to rent these because believe it or not i do like corny movies, (just not this bad!) We will see what might happen in the future, but who really knows?
