ThiefHott Too much of everything
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
daniel-mannouch The 'Poor Man's Peckinpah' triumphed once again at a time when poor Bloody Sam was Hemingwaying himself into a way, way, way too early grave. One of the most reliable Italian genre names of the era, good ol EG (as his buckle proclaims) once more as in Street Law combines his aforementioned master, Shakespeare, impressive stunt work and a confident leading Franco Nero to thrilling effect. A sharp script, great score and outstanding photography aid the proceedings and elevates Shark Hunter above most euro-action and at a time when the trend was beginning to slip into a still not awakened comatose. It's about time this and several other of E.G.C's outings once again see the light of day as they're damn classy fun. That being said, there are always pacing problems with Castellari's pictures, but usually nothing major. Still, they're a lost form of the action film which needn't rely on grit or angst to tell a good story but rather operatic flair which elevates the audience's participation into more than just a spectator. These films are full of life, warts and all and i suppose that's just not some people's idea of escapism. But hey ho, there's room for all of us.
Sukubus_Inc A great Castellari with Franco Nero as a retired shark hunter! The soundtrack is A+ (another great tube from Guido and Maurizio De Angelis). Also, Take a look at Castellari, in a cameo, punching Nero in slow-motion near the end of the Movie! A must see for Nero and Castellari fans.
gridoon Franco Nero is a shark hunter and treasure seeker who has a handful of allies, and also antagonists at every corner.The film has fistfights, car chases, foot chases, seaplane vs. speedboat chases and some nicely incorporated shark attacks, but no genuine urgency. The music score is very cool, but at times you get the sense that it's expected to carry along long stretches of the film by itself. And the underwater scenes slow down the pace (inevitably).All in all, pretty forgettable stuff, but not bad. (**)
f.gimenez Actor Franco Nero and director Enzo G. Castellari made it again with this film.After some very interesting films like "High Crime", "Cry,Onion" and "Keoma", Castellari and Nero worked together in this great, brilliant adventure or action film, as you like. The beautiful photography, the wonderful music and fine acting make this film most enjoyable.Franco Nero does a great performance as usual... Eduardo Fajardo performs a very bad and cruel villain as usual too... This film has many great underwater scenes, car chasing, fights, and a solid plot, oh... and a quite surprising ending.Who can ask for anything more??...It´s absolutely worthwhile watching it!!.
