Jaws of Los Angeles

Is money so worthless that people throw it at backing movies like this???

A 10 dollar budget filmed on a 5 dollar camera with free "actors".

Disrespectful to the viewer in more ways than you can count.

Lots and lots of stock footage of fish swimming serenely under water, people walking along the beach, long range footage of a shark swimming, etc but no footage of a shark actually attacking somebody. Interspersed with extremely bad acting. Add a terrible script and a director who doesn't know or care what he is doing.

The only redeeming feature was that some of the songs on the soundtrack were not bad.

Right, well as I sat down to watch the 2021 movie titled "Jaws of Los Angeles" (aka "Apex Predators"), I must admit that I didn't really harbor much of any high hopes or expectations for the movie. But still, with it being a shark movie that I hadn't already seen before, and on the snowballs chance in Hell of it being a great shark movie, of course I sat down to watch "Jaws of Los Angeles".

And this movie was atrociously bad. Seriously, I mean this is one of the worst shark movies I have suffered through, and I had been through a lot of shark movies. What made "Jaws of Los Angeles" fail was the writing from writer and director Dustin Ferguson.

Not at a single moment throughout the course of this movie, which made a lot of use of stock footage of sharks, did I ever feel that the danger of actual shark attacks was present. And it didn't really help much that the actors and actresses in the movie were putting on what could best be classified as dubious and questionable performances all round.

As for the cast in "Jaws of Los Angeles", well... Let's just say that the managed to get together an ensemble of actors and actresses, sure. But let's not go ahead and say that these were top notch performers. In fact, the vast majority of performances in the entire movie were downright abysmal to look at. If you do enjoy watching questionable plastic surgery results, then consider yourself in for a treat as you sit down to watch "Jaws of Los Angeles".

"Jaws of Los Angeles" was frightfully devoid of sharks, well aside from stock footage that didn't have any feel of menacing or danger to it. The movie makers didn't even bother to make a prop for close-up shots of shark attacks.

If you enjoy shark movies, just like I do, then do yourself a favor and stay well clear of the 2021 movie "Jaws of Los Angeles". I am rating this train wreck of a movie a generous one out of ten stars. This movie simply wasn't worth the time, money or effort.

Actually I will go as far as to say that the movie's cover/poster is actually the best thing about the entire ordeal. And that is just a sad fact.
