Review of Tintorera: Killer Shark

Not with me. What a bad movie! This has virtually nothing to do with sharks but more with the director's voyeuristic desires to be involved with a woman and a man at the same time in a sexual relationship. More on that in a moment. The first killing by the shark happens at the film's 20-23 minute mark. No one even knows the woman dies by the shark. The next death comes at the hour mark. There are two more deaths maybe three by the film's end. We maybe see the shark with all its unimpressive glory about five or 6 times. So what do we get in Tintorera - lots of sexual situations, lots of guys in bikini shorts sipping drinks or sitting on a couch or lounging in a hammock. We get lots of girls bare-chested. We get a bizarre(and sleazy) love triangle with Hugo Stiglitz, Andres Garcia, and Susan George. Garcia is the only one with ANY acting ability. George is pretty if nothing else(and that is all we have here with her). Stiglitz. I have seen this guy in other things and BAD is the first word that comes to my mind. He looks off into to space like he is suppose to have some life-changing angst to deal with. Instead it looks like he is having a bowel movement. He is creepy in every fiber of that word. The film ends abruptly and ridiculously. This is a clumsy attempt to make money on the Jaws craze. It is not poorly done in terms of directorial ability, etc...but in terms of what is done with the resources at hand. I didn't see the point at all. The script is the major problem here with all its inane dialog, and sleaze. Is this the worst movie I have ever seen? by no means. It is just quirky enough to hold your attention, but after awhile you will be scratching your head saying why?, why?. Fiona Lewis is the first girl that dies. She is gorgeous. In fact all the girls are gorgeous which is definitely a nod in favor of this sleazy yet primordially entertaining piece of whatever. It is not a horror film by any definition of mine. By the way, what is with the two female leads both being British? Hmmm.
