I honestly really enjoyed this movie. At one point, it was anticlimactic but then a twist which renewed it's self.
If you have seen other Jason Statham Movies, then you know what to expect. This is a bit different than his other roles - there is no fighting military or marital arts style.
The movie has some cute moments, sad moments and a lot of suspense, beautiful graphics, dark comedy. There are a few moments of 'why would you do that?' or 'that's not how that works' but it is an enjoyable flick and I will watch it again.
This is a break up from other shark attack movies, or movies like this. There are some characters (one in particular) that don't fit. There are even some stereotypical concepts from other movies incorporated that were a bit rushed. (Trying to stay away from spoilers)
Character development was rushed and we get our typical back story of the hero's journey which makes up just about all movies and books, stories of overcoming odds. 1. Ordinary world 2. Call to adventure 3. Refusal of the call 4. Meeting with the mentor 5. Crossing the first threshold 6. Tests, allies and enemies 7. Approach to the inmost cave 8. The ordeal 9. Reward 10. The road back 11. The resurrection 12. Return with the elixir
But that just moved us faster to the suspense which is more of what this movie is about. Lot's of movies spend a lot of time on character development and when they finally paint the full picture of character they have to rush the plot or make it a 2hr+ movie.
This was an enjoyable flick I will watch again and again. I would give this movie a 7 out of 10 because there are only a 100-200 or so movies I have, or would re-watch (I own around 2204 movies/Shows). -- but I feel this movie has been rated harshly and therefore I give it a 10.
