Dark Tide [HD]

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME
The film takes place in scenic South Africa. We get the National Geographic tour. The film starts out great showing us Halle Berry's cleavage, a guy filming her cleavage, and then they throw a shark into the film...and no more cleavage. Halle's hobby is to pet Great Whites in open water out of a cage. She is married to Jeff who films the action. So when sharks suddenly behave badly, Halle quits diving with them.

After a year, Jeff is trying to get back with Halle. The have fights about the relationship. The film contains Halle doing a first person philosophical narration and the music is very tame, not what one expects for an action/thriller. Halle who has spent 10 years in the water doesn't like the smell of fish and screams when someone tries to push her in. Clearly this is an action flick written for women, or by a woman (Amy Sorlie). In one scene Jeff apologizes for whatever it was that made Halle angry. Halle is angry that he doesn't know why she is angry and won't...

Wait for it go on sale.... for it surely will.
I give this movie one star for the sharks, as previous reviewers mentioned the shark footage is pretty amazing, and one star split between wonderful shots of S Africa and equally, (for this viewer) pleasant shots of Mr Martinez. The story line itself was almost unpalatable. As someone else stated, mbee for the girls, I doubt even then. Without giving any spoilers there is little to say other than any action above the waves was plain tedious and even annoying. With that said, I am not sorry to have rented this, I really loved the underwater footage, but I really wish I had waited until it was the 99 cent special, as it is obviously destined to be.

A boring and forgettable shark movie that fans of the genre may like. I though it was way to long and drawn out. I say C
"My father once told me to be careful of the things you love most in the world because if your not careful that very thing can also destroy you." Nine years after being attacked and nearly killed by a shark professional diver Kate (Berry) is ready to give tours again, just not to swim outside of a cage. After a financial crises forces her to help a man live his dream of swimming with the sharks she is forced to confront her fears again. This is a movie that hardcore fans of shark movies will enjoy. For me it was very slow and pretty boring. I think the problems with this one are pretty much even across the board. I felt no connection with any of the characters, the movie was longer then it needed to be and this is the type of movie you forget as you are watching. You may see it different but to me this is boring and forgettable. Overall, unless this is your favorite type of movie you may feel the same as I did. I give it a C.
