Should you see it? If you like generic shark attack films.
This came out the same year as "Deep Blue Sea," a film that just shouldn't be fun, but is. Sharks in South Africa are attacking, it gets investigated, a chemical is found to be causing a feeding frenzy, that chemical is being introduced by a company that wants to lower values so they can exploit oil reserves. There are plenty of attacks, a car chase, a boat chase, a gun battle and a helicopter (for some reason, helicopters became a staple of shark movies on SyFy). Casper van Dien and his then real-life brother-in-law Bentley Mitchum (grandson of Robert) star, with former Ghostbuster Ernie Hudson. Stock footage and robotic sharks are used, rather than the CGI of later shark films, but they're not that much of an improvement. The biggest flaw is that the attacks are mostly early, with everything else happening on land.
