The next Jaws?  Ummm…NO!  I wouldn’t say this movie was completely horrible – I’ve definitely seen worse shark movies.  But, it wasn’t “great” either.  Lisa and Kate are sisters that are vacationing in Mexico and decide to get a thrill by going down in a shark cage to get close to swimming sharks.  It’s all good until – SURPRISE - something breaks, dropping their cage to the bottom of the water and no way to safely get back to the surface.  The added element to all of this is their air supply is almost gone, too.  Of course, there are mean sharks that always seem to be one step ahead and almost able to read people’s minds.  It all just seemed so basic.  Just when I thought there was something new, it tried to get more “dramatic” – now her leg is stuck under the cage and she can’t move!  Oh, no!  Then a leg is cut and there’s blood in the water!!!  What else could go wrong???!!!!  Just about everything, seemed like…  Overall, it had it’s moments, but they were few and far between.  I think it was better than it seemed, but wouldn’t expect very much from this one.
