      Audience Member One of the most brilliant and poignant films of recent memory, "Son of a Shark" does not praise juvenile delinquency it treats it like it is harsh and real. The film has remained with me all these years since the brief U.S. release in '95 and will haunt the viewer forever. Hopefully it'll soon be digitally enhanced and released on Blu-Ray for all to see this magnificent film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
