What a name for a film, too bad they take the film somewhat too serious, 30 December 2004
4/10
Author: tvalstar99 from Holland

Look at the title of the film and nothing good can come of this. Who came up with this name? He should be fired.

The writers have studied Jaws and tried to make an own version it seems. Big Chinese fish are the stars this time. It is just a shame that the writers didn't try to take the film as the name. Not serious I mean.

The actors do a miserable job (with miserable lines I must say), the environment is not convincing and the fish are a joke. I looks like a crossing between Jaws and Tremors sometimes. It just isn't good enough and too cliché to pass on for a good film. The ending is just terrible and it is clear that this is just a B-film. Too bad the writers and director didn't put in something of their own. Then you could laugh en enjoy the stupidity and it would be more original. Now it is somewhat stupid. This is one of those movies you watch with your friends while having a beer night and irritate and laugh a bit on the film. Although I wanted to see how it ended, so they did something right. I give it 4 stars.
