Dark Tide (2012)


Dark Tide (2012)

A woman who declares herself a Shark Whisperer faces harsh reality when a close friend is lost to a shark on an expedition. A year later, she is convinced by her ex to take a millionaire and his son out to swim with the sharks and has to confront her own demons as well as a rich jerk who wants to get his money's worth. Dark Tide is a 2012 thriller directed by John Stockwell and starring Oscar winner Halle Berry. Dark Tide is a shark thriller that centers on a shark expert, portrayed by Ms. Berry, who returns to her trade when her bills pile up, and she risks losing her boat. Her portrayal of Kate is convincing, and how she manages her crew and annoying client carries the story, which, for most of the film, is surprisingly low on shark activity. The film does amp up the intensity with a storm and an accident, both filmed quite effectively. Dark Tide features some truly magnificent shark footage, and the undersea photography is pretty good. While the film spends far too little time on shark attacks, the final scenes are pretty intense, making this film a worthy watch.
