Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 32 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review 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 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 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 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 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 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
