An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Really surprised this film scores so poorly as I thought it was actually quite entertaining. Despite Berry's overly-dramatic portrayal of a so-called "shark whisperer" whose able to swim in open water with massive white sharks, general acting aside, the photography, exterior sets and choreography of attacks are excellent. If there was any CGI, it wasn't apparent (which should be the idea) instead the makers have used footage of real white sharks in the wild, and integrated these seamlessly with the actors.The Capetown (Fish Hoek) setting adds realism, and whilst the plot is heavily contrived, the shark footage more than compensates. It's not in the league of "Jaws" though imo it does narrowly outperform "The Reef" which was a pretty decent exponent of the genre itself. Berry and Martinez are merely scenery but director Stockwell's (Cougar from Top Gun) timing builds suspense nicely despite the clichés.Multiple maulings will keep traditional shark audiences engaged whilst the discerning viewer might be sustained by a more ethical depiction of White sharks. Humans are the antagonists here; the men in grey suits simply behaving as any reluctant host would tolerate such an irritating cast of prima donnas. Sharks = 6, humans = 0.

Kate has trained for many years to be able to swim with the sharks, he has the ability to sense, feel and when is a good time to join them without hurting you. In one expedition witch was lead by her, a colleague is killed by a shark and she can recover from this so she suspends her activity for almost a year. With bills that keep coming and the access to her boat is threaten, she need a way to pay the bank and recover her properties. Her boyfriend Jeff comes with an idea in witch she accompany a rich man addicted after dangerous sensation along with his son to the sea to swim with the sharks without a cage. She refuses knowing that this type of season is not good for this but with an arrangement of Jeff and without her knowing, agrees to indulge the millionaire. Things goes worst when they decide to go deep in the ocean and a power full storm overturns the boat and now they are in the position where are in the deep water along with dangerous and hungry sharks.Idea is good but unfortunately the movie is boring, the action develops too slow and there are only some good scene that are viewable, those that are underwater. Excepting this the film is quite annoying.

Pros: Halle Berry's Body, South Africa footage, Shark Footage Cons:No Plot, Boring, Predictable, No sympathy for any charactersBottomline: If your waiting trial in Thailand for those silly drugs you had in your cavity, sure give it a watch.

When i saw the release of Dark Tide i thought it could be interesting, nothing like the classic "JAWS" but it still could be a good movie of sharks, and a good one for me, must have adrenaline, danger and panic - a lot of things that this movie doesn't have. In fact, this movie doesn't have anything, it is poor in general. The good thing in this movie is the excellent views of the sharks under water, we can see them in perfection going around is natural habitat. If you want to see the live of sharks under the ocean this is perfect, if you want a movie that you can compare with old ones of the same type, forget, it looks like a documentary.
