As a woman in my forties like the lead actress was in this movie ... WHY would you portray her as a recent med school grad who is repeatedly called 'kid' by the main actor? She's not a kid. That's demeaning as heck. She is not a kid. I feel like the character was meant to be in her mid twenties but they cast someone who looks every year of their age and it was impossible to suspend belief that she was a jilted ingenue on what should have been her honeymoon with characters (her pals) who seemed MUCH younger. She took me out of every single scene. Especially the 'kid' nonsense.
Next, she's a med school grad but she doesn't even TRY to do any CPR at all when her friend washes up on shore after being hit by a shark tail. He's not bloody. Why wouldn't she do CPR? Then another friend comes with no leg and instead of using his belt as a tourniquet ... she leaves him to bleed out while she runs to get a first aid kit that she doesn't use at all ... and THEN uses his belt as a tourniquet. What. On. Earth!? Why did she go get that kit when his belt was RIGHT THERE!?
The only thing worse than the special effects was the acting. Just horrible. Right up there with The Requin as worst shark movie ever. Just. HORRIBLE.
