An action packed shark movie featuring Mako sharks this time around, instead of Great White Sharks.

It is kinda of like Jaws meets Frankenstein in a weird sort of way. A scientist believes she has discovered the cure for Alzheimer's in Mako sharks and has conducted experiments on them.

And now the sharks have got smart. Real smart. During a wild storm all hell breaks loose and the underwater lab starts to sink, which leaves the humans to try and survive the smartest sharks in the world.

The CGI has not aged well over the years, but the mechanical/practical effects sharks do look amazing.

Thomas Jane, Saffron Burrows and Samuel L Jackson and Michael Rapaport give good performances. The rest of the cast are so so.

The movie is suspenseful but it could have added some of the deleted scenes into the movie and took out some others scenes. Some of the deleted scenes added a bit more to the supporting characters.

Renny Harlin did a good job on the movie and is considered to be one of the best shark movies ever made. I think it's decent, but Jaws will always win when it comes to the best shark movie.

Only things I didn't like were LL Cool J's character of Preacher and his stupid bird and the hideous song he performs at the end credits. I think the song is called Deepest Bluest and it is beyond dreadful and features some of worst lyrics known to man......'Deepest Bluest, my hat is like a sharks fin'....just stop LL Cool J
