Red Water (2021)
A seemingly fun time on a sailboat turns into peril after all four people onboard find themselves stranded after jumping off without a ladder to get back on board. They are soon attacked by a shark and trapped on a small raft with no supplies and oars. As the tensions rise among the survivors, the shark takes its time picking them off one at a time. Red Water is a 2021 Chinese action movie also titled Huge Shark. The cast features three women and one male, and some of the most absurd English dubbing as the original film was done in Mandarin. While the movie's first half does not stand out too much, the last part is better, even if it follows the plot of The Shallows. Chloe Zhao is the most experienced actor in the film, with a number of Chinese films on her resume; the struggle she faces would have worked better if the movie had focused on her exclusively. I will say that Red Water at least makes an effort to copy a Shark movie that isn't Jaws, well, mostly.
