    Horrible!!

    Horrible movie they tried to make it scary. But it was the worst movie I've ever seen such phony baloney the sharks come out of nowhere even in the air and they eat people alive how phony and how low can they get. I can't believe they would even publish something this bad you'd have to be a total fool to believe even one of these stories in the movie. And the acting was below subpar.

    Bad, even for a low budget shark movie...

    Right, well we all know what we are in for when we sit down to watch a movie such as "Mississippi River Sharks". I mean, just look at the DVD cover and you already know what it is going to be like.

    But still, there is that little voice at the far, far back of your mind that beckons and compels you to sit down and watch it, on the slightest of hopes that this might actually turn out to be a good shark movie.

    It wasn't!

    "Mississippi River Sharks" was impeded by an overly predictable storyline, which was, in fact, so predictable that even a blind and deaf person would be able to foresee what would happen next. Yep, it was that predictable. And that meant that there were absolutely no surprises or twists or turns along the progression of the movie.

    The CGI effects in "Mississippi River Sharks" was downright abysmal and laughable at best. Not once did they manage to make it look realistic, and that just made it impossible to take it the least bit serious.

    For a movie in the killer shark genre, or whatever you classify the shark movies as, then "Mississippi River Sharks" was a very generic and mundane addition to the genre, and it offered absolutely nothing new to the genre.

    The cast was adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie and its budget size. You had Jason London and Jeremy London in the movie, which should be enough of an indicator of what you are in for here.

    If you enjoy shark movies, then I strongly suggest that you sink your jaws, wink wink, into another movie, because "Mississippi River Sharks" is really not worth the time or effort.

    Amazingly bad movie

    Not sure what others are seeing, but this move is simply pitiful. Even for the pseudo sci-fi genre, this one is a real stinker.

    Some enjoyment, but still a medicore movie

    I found this one to be a medicore killer shark movie that I watched. There barely any story to be found in this movie because its your usual shark attack movie. Even the location isn't anything too extreme or special about it. The movie feels like it's stalling for time due to scenes that drags on too long and most of the human stuff is really boring. It's mostly your usual stuff with relationship between characters, one guy refused to cancel the event, and other stuff that doesn't matter. As for the enjoyment factor, there little enjoyment to be found in it. There are a couple of ridiculous moments like the shark goes through a guy chest and one guy got a shark onto him while he's walking. But the movie is mostly dull for the most part because there's not that much excitement to be found in it. And the movie has a anticlimactic ending to it, but I do like how they kill off the rest of the sharks.

    I found the characters to be pretty boring and uninteresting throughout. Most of them plays generic tropes you see in any movies out there and some of them are obnoxious. Also, some of them are extremely pointless like that reporter lady. The acting isn't the worst, but feels stiff in some parts of it.

    Just like many of these shark movies, the CGI looks pretty bad. They looks like it came from a Playstation 2 game and it looks like they use stock footage of real sharks in it. There also a serve head that looks really awful on how fake it looks.

    Mississippi River Shark is a medicore killer shark movie that has some enjoyment, but is a very dull movie.

    Goofy, but kinda likable sharks-in-the-river flick

    RELEASED TO TV IN 2017 and directed by Misty Talley, "Mississippi River Sharks" details events in Mississippi when several sharks travel up the river looking for a new food source and threaten people at a fish rodeo.

    Some of these TV shark-attack flicks take the serious route (e.g. 2009's "Malibu Shark Attack") while others shoot for campy amusement (e.g. 2012's "Jersey Shore Shark Attack). "Mississippi River Sharks" takes the latter approach. Thankfully, it's not all goofy; there's some serious drama thrown into the mix, like the blossoming romance between Tara (Cassie Steele) and the black dude (Tahj Vaughans), as well as issues with her dad (Miles Doleac). Jason London plays himself as the star of the fictitious B-movie franchise "Shark Bite," although he wasn't in "Shark Bite 3" (lol).

    The meshing of silly comedy and cartoony gore with serious drama offers a mixed experience. It's entertaining to a degree, but you can't take it serious. The presence of Cassie Steele and cutie Ashton Leigh (in the prologue & epilogue) are never milked for their potential. The movie's likable, but overlong at only about 87 minutes. The weak final act drags.

    THE MOVIE WAS SHOT IN Ocean Springs, Mississippi, with studio work done in New Orleans. WRITER: Marcy Holland. ADDITIONAL CAST: Dean J. West plays one of the three main protagonists while Michelle West appears as a pesky, but perky reporter.

    GRADE: C
