      Audience Member Professional made beautifully shot adventure film that is perhaps too low-key for something as potentially exciting as shark attack prevention. Notable for its views of pre-Castro Cuba, which looks quite lovely, where this was filmed. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
