I came in with very low expectations and they were just about met. I was just browsing Netflix and thought I would give this a try. The reviews didn't seem good and the plot didn't seem all that great. Not the worst movie I have watched, but it was definitely up there. The story just didn't make any sense. Somehow Dolph Lundgren had a bull shark in the back of his van. At least I am assuming that is how the shark got in the lake. I don't understand how the shark was in the back of the van with no water and it seemed to be sitting there for a while. Then the first guy that was killed was killed in an inch of water. The water didn't even go up to the guy's heel and somehow the shark killed him. Basically all the shark kills, besides the BBC guy and his cameraman were in water that was way to shallow for that big of a shark to be in. Also, somehow three sharks went undetected for five years in this lake. I think they said it was like a 20,000 square lake or something, but still you would expect at least one person to be attacked by one of three sharks in 5 years. I did not like the actress. I did not think she did that good of a job. I thought the doctor might have been the best in this so I was pretty sad when he died especially because the lady detective had a gun and for some reason didn't shoot the shark that went after him. Dolph Lundgren was pretty good, the sheriff was good and the BBC guy was good for the short time he was there. I also don't understand how they caught the crime boss. They never showed him being caught so I have no clue why he was arrested. The only thing that would have made this worse is if at the end of the movie they showed another shark in the lake teasing a sequel. I totally thought that was going to be the ending. Also, does a lake like this exist in Nevada? This totally looks like an ocean and not a lake.
