An exploration of the shark's place in people's imagination vies with the reality of its role at the top of the sea's food chain.

John Hartl

Seattle Times

Many of the scenes shot near South Africa and New Zealand and underwater are breathtaking, but they're still snapshots of people who seem amazingly willing to swim with sharks.

Rated: 2.5/4

British codirectors Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas ("Wild Ocean," "The Last Reef") are no newcomers to the nature documentary.
