Audience Member Before Indiana Jones there was Caine. Unlike the Hollywood version of the intrepid traveler - Caine is just an american expat traveler looking to make a buck. You might fall a sleep in the middle but you'll wake up and watch it again later. keywords; expats, booze, foreign locals, a bit of romance and of course sharks - not to mention a chain smoking 8 yr old. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Criminal drifter forms an uneasy partnership with a diving duo in search of sunken treasure amidst shark infested waters. Predates JAWS but gained little notoriety and certainly not one of Burt Reynolds most memorable performances. Film was dedicated to the work of the stuntmen, one of whom died during the shooting in a dive with sharks. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A bit confusing with its oddly enough drawn-out plot, but a must view for Jaws and Sam Fuller fans... Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Not much to about sharks, though it's obviously more noticeable for Fuller and Reynold's. Though even then, it's a cheap-talk movie that takes too long to get going, and wasn't that interesting from the get-go. The premise could work, if it was done more exciting. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member well acted and shot, but the plot and morality aspects are too similar to what we've seen in 'Treasure of the Sierra Madre' with Bogey.... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Another dollar movie gets my money once again.[/size][/font] [size=3][font=Times New Roman]Burt Reynolds (Smokey And The Bandit) stars as an arms smuggler who’s on the run after a narrow escape from guards at a roadblock. Stranded in a small coastal town in Africa, Burt is laying low from the law and trying to find a decent razor so he can shave. [/font][/size] [size=3][font=Times New Roman]Holed up in a third rate hotel with an alcoholic doctor who’s trying to forget his past, Burt befriends a young boy street urchin. Along the way they share some smokes, some jokes and some confusing dialogue. The plot thickens as Burt finds that an aging biologist and his beautiful assistant have the only boat in town and they’ve been diving off the coast doing research. [/font][/size] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]What happens next is your guess as good as mine. Half of the film was overexposed or filmed at night without proper lighting. I really can’t believe they let this run but they did. Evening dive shots are completely lost, and the touching beach romance between Burt and the lovely young assistant is left to sparse dialogue and 10 minutes of black screen.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]After the artificial glaucoma has subsided the story turns as we realize the crew has been diving for sunken treasure and not science! A love triangle soon entangles the cast in a ride to outrun a police constable hot on the trail. The movie is marked with some underwater stunt photography featuring sharks, one of which claimed the life of a diver.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]A good afternoon film to occasionally glance at between chores.[/size][/font] Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
