"Orca" has a reputation of being nothing but an obvious rip off of "Jaws", and while there are similarities, this film is strong enough to stand on its own.
Richard Harris(quite good) plays Captain Nolan, a fisherman/hunter who kills an Orca, unaware that it was pregnant, and traveling with its mate, who becomes enraged at the atrocity, and sets out on a campaign of vengeance against the crew, and the village harbor it is stationed at. Charlotte Rampling is also in the cast, who tries in vain to warn him on the danger.
Exciting, well-directed, with beautiful underwater photography and moving music score, this film is a winner; if anything, the story follows "Death Wish" more than anything!
