Also known as "Sea Killer", this film was superbly photographed on Bora-Bora, using the romantic lead from "Hurricane" and a very attractive ingénue, Maren Jensen. Miss Swan is along just for comedy relief, and fortunately there is not too much of her as her post syncing is not the best! And whilst the shark is sometimes convincing, he is often an obvious dummy! But what is actually the most disappointing aspect of this movie is its sudden conclusion which simply leaves the story of the villainous brother and the Japanese entrepreneur up in the air. Never mind, Francis Lai's lovely music score makes up for a lot. The photography is also outstanding and the director sure knows how to get the best out of his action material. Even the underwater scenes (which are usually dull and repetitious in this sort of picture) are exciting enough to withstand the weight of some dull dialogue on land.
