Gorgeous beach, good acting.
But I've watched Shark Week DVDs a gazillion times. I wrote down the survivors' names and read their real accounts. I've read Rodney Fox's story many times. I've watched real documentaries. The behavior of the fictional shark is ridiculous in the face of current knowledge. When Jaws came out, we didn't know any better. But now we do.
And anyhow, it's not real smart to go swimming/snorkeling/diving/surfing by yourself, so i didn't have much sympathy for the main character.
If you want to hear some scary, true stories, read Peter Benchley's non fictional Shark Trouble or the book called Surfing's Greatest Misadventures. Or read survivor testimony of the USS Indianapolis. Or Ray Boundy, Rodney Fox, etc.
