Nano sharks originally planned for military use are being marketed for the general public and have become a craze. Once flushed into the NYC system they become a problem. The film consists of various subplots with the mayor (Kevin Sorbo) playing a parody of the elected officials. Three exterminators of very interesting character becomes the city's "ghost busters" as they have figured out how to kill them.This is for fans of "Sharknado" style films. It has silliness and cameos of Jose Canseco and his wife/girlfriend ...before the break up. There is a bevy of pretty women and scenes inside an adult entertainment establishment, but no nudity. The film has PG-13 sex talk and scenes but nothing graphic. A woman has Tourette syndrome, but barks instead of swears."Piranha Sharks" and "Jurassic Piranha" are the same film. Neither title is technically correct, I guess because "Nano-lab Sharks" didn't market.A fun cult film.

I purchased this movie from Amazon, well expecting it to be a low budget creature feature, although I had hoped that it would be one of those fun ones; you know, the ones that are so bad that they are actually fun to watch. But that was not the case with "Piranha Sharks".First of all, the DVD was titled "Jurassic Piranha". Wait, what? Seriously? How could the movie end up with a title so deviant from its original title, unless it being an attempt to cash in on something else. Especially since there was nothing even remotely prehistoric about the creatures in the movie. They were man-made and tinkered with in a Laboratory.Right, well moving on. The story is about a company which have the idea of cross-breeding sharks and piranha, and selling them as pets to families. The creatures, of course, grow quickly, have an endless appetite and start to mutate. Soon the entire city of Manhattan is in dire peril at the ferocity of these vicious toothy fishy killers. And it is up to a small group of local exterminators to save the entire city of Manhattan from extermination, be it from the piranha sharks or from the US government who wants to drop nuclear bombs to contain the piranha sharks.Indeed. Yeah, that was the scope of the ludicrous storyline. Simple? Yes. Stupid? Yes. Entertaining? No.The CGI effects in "Piranha Sharks" is among the top three of bad special effects that I have ever witnessed in a movie. It was so bad that it went beyond bad. Trust me.And the acting in the movie was as to be expected from a movie of this genre and type. But I had never expected an actor like Kevin Sorbo to appear in a movie such as this.I still managed to sit through the entire movie, despite it being so bad. Why? Well, I was hoping that it would get better, or at least turn into something so bad that it would be funny. But no, it just kept on being bad in a bad way. Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Piranha Sharks".I am rating "Piranha Sharks" a mere one out of ten stars.

Got this in a supermarket under the name 'Jurassic Piranha' & knew it was going to be one of those SyFy films with cheap nasty effects & loads of clichés & bad script etc.I wasn't surprised as it had cheap CGI effects, over used clichés & a very short run time of 73 minutes. But weirdly enough I liked it. Somehow the story-line was a bit far fetched, I mean come on, they were going to nuke the entire city over Piranhas? And what's more we saw no other attacks aside from the people involved in the film? And alcohol killing them a weakness? It was all very stupid indeed & the film did feel rushed & very WOAH if you know what I mean! But you get what you paid for! After all, it did cost me only £3 in ASDA! But still it was a OK film with sh!t loads of flaws but somehow washed with me enough. It's fantasy mixed with horror & was alright, but not as good as Sharktopus or Lake Placid 2, that film especially showed it's form a cheap CGI at it's biggest form, but these films you expect them to be sh!t, with crappy effects, bad story-line a dumb way to kill off the monster at the end some nut head scientist & babes & muscle men etc. Along with bad effects & far fetched story-lines it's what you get & some are better than others being honest!Overall, this film was bearable & watchable for a quick flick! 6/10

I'm not going to enter a long review here. I will have a complete review at Ruthless Reviews, check us out. Anyway, about the movie... I thought that it was a pretty outstanding effort for what it was. Let's be realistic, these guys are going to lose money on this film, and I hate that. It was a great effort and a study in the concept of not letting your reach exceed your grasp. The acting was amazingly competent and hilarious. The editing and cuts were surprisingly crisp. I liked it, I really did.I appreciate the "reach out" from the makers of the film. We were both appalled by the lasted Sharknado pile of **** from Asylum. I just wish that this film could have more exposure, but alas, it will die a unnoticed death.http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/24279/piranha-sharks/
