Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

dmuel This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. I have to confess, I fast forwarded through most of it, because it was far too stupid and low-budget to waste any time on. A navy experiment with sharks has gone awry, and a group of ferocious sharks is now threatening to make the viewer nervous. However, these CGI sharks are so phony looking, along with the sets and other effects, that one will have to watch some other movie for thrills. So little production value was added to this flick that one actor, who is supposedly eaten by a shark in one scene, re-appears 10 minutes later with a mustache on his face as a different character. I'm writing this review to take my revenge on the producers of this film. It is not a "so-bad-it's-good" movie, it's too bad for human eyes to watch.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) A lot of shark films have come a long way, in "Dark Waters" I liked it very much. Lorenzo Lamas know for his role in "Renegade" and "Falcon Crest" puts on quite a show as a suave marine biologist, who unmasks the secret of a bio-weapon plan gone wrong. Lorenzo plays Dane Quatrell who father was "killed" in his youth and later finds out he is alive after all those years. "Dark Waters" does have some humor to it. The schemes he and his crew pull to bilk the buyers to help the institute which indeed backfires when the "victims" turn the tables on Dane and his crew. It was funny when the tape the sub crew find wasn't surveillance. And the one other thing I liked is when the Seargent Milkos(Jeffrey Gorman) was knocked out and bleeding Dane tells Robin(Simmone MacKinnon) to remove her top. That was some sex appeal watching her in her black bra. At least no one else got any ideas afterwards. And getting rid of those super-sharks looked great. When those rogue Marines got chomped, their names won't be mention in a memorial. I've enjoyed this movie very much. The plot was good, and the rest is for you to see for yourself. Rating 3 out of 5 stars.

Jack I've watched this movie about four times now. Why? Because Simmone Mackinnon puts on a wet T-shirt show throughout almost the entire movie. And I've hated it every time. **SPOILERS** The plot revolves around a secret government research project (run by Lamas' father) involving killer sharks. The research lab is located aboard a submarine, and through completely unbelievable circumstances, Lamas and Mackinnon wind up on the sub.The biggest problem is the characters - they're utterly detestable. I don't care if they're lying, cheating thieves; those I count as endearing qualities. What I can't stand is the fact that they're so incredibly conceited, like a couple of self worshiping, petty school children. Mackinnon was really lousy in Deep Shock and she's really lousy in this as well. Lamas also manages to reach a new low.The other gigantic problem is that the lead characters become mass murderers towards the end. Lamas' father, the project leader for creating killer sharks, has decided that the project isn't going to be successful. So he decides to wipe out all data from the project, so it won't be continued. However, with the laboratory located on a submarine, wiping out all the data apparently requires killing everyone aboard. The astute viewer may have noticed that there are lots of people on submarines, even the ones that don't have secret shark research facilities on board. That's because the vast majority of those people are involved with keeping the submarine running - they don't have any connection to secret projects. Yet, with the help of Lamas and Mackinnon, they are all killed. In fact, if one were to really pay attention, you'll notice the father would have killed his son, if not for the totally unbelievable escape they make after he's sabotaged the ship.But of course that isn't enough for this movie. After the death a hundred or so sailors, most of whom were guilty of nothing more than some terrible over acting, Lamas makes a speech about how he gained so much character from his father.Oh brother. This is just about the dumbest thing you're ever likely to see.The submarine keeps springing leaks which spurt out like someone holding a shower nozzle up to Mackinnon's T-shirt. That's the intelligent part of the movie.

McQualude "We go in on 3, ready... 3,2,1 Go!", is an example of the idiotic dialogue that plagues Dark Waters. Not to mention the scene where our heroes escape and go galavanting around the bridge of a sub on a top-secret mission and manage to convince the officers that they are on a tour. [note: this movie is not a comedy] Dark Waters insults the intelligence of the viewer. What do I know, maybe it IS possible to abandon ship at 5,400 feet. I score Dark Waters a 3, only because the action is plentiful and Simmone Mackinnon is HOT.
