Memorable, crazy movie

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I broke my leg a few months ago and started watching movies. I'm huge on horror. Animals attack type and suspense and of course cheesy 50's and 60's classics. I'm not easily entertained and I have shut off my share of movies. I won't waste 2 hours on a dud. That said lets get on with the review already. First I didn't shut off the movie and that says a lot right there. And in no time did I even consider it. This wasn't in anyway "jaws" or "deep blue sea". BUT it is worth watching if you like shark movies. Movie starts in store where the characters are introduced and back stories are created. Then out of nowhere. (In a world that has all type of warning devices) a huge tsunami barrels down on a little beach community. A robbery is going down in a grocery store and just before more people are take out by the gun man the ocean comes crashing thru. The survivors pull themselves up on shelves to wait for help. Hey if they get hungry they just have to reach down and grab the bad of Doritos floating by. The rest of the movie is all about survivoral and ways to kill the now meat eating 12 foot sharks whose had a taste for live bait. Positive: The shark didn't look like blow up sharks like they do in some. They move and look like the real thing. Characters actually have back stories that didn't bore you to death. The acting was actually half decent and the script isn't boring and have people just talking to fill in time. . And of course they added the one person everyone wants to be eaten and they don't disappoint Negative. I think they could have came up with a much better way to kill shark number 2. I don't understand how the store is half flooded yet the underground garage directly underneath has water but only to the roof of the cars AND yet the stairwells between the two levels is completely under water. How does that work?!?Anyways back to my recommendation. Don't go in expecting jaws. Don't go in thinking your going to see stunning scenery (the common place of finding a shark). Don't expect Oscar winners or memorable one liners. or you will sorely disappointed. But if you tell yourself it's a b+ movie and your just wanting to be entertained to a few hours. Then you. Will. As I write this I am watching jersey shore shark attack....... I'll be shutting it off... NOW!!

"Bait" looks like the kind of movie the Syfy channel seems to produce every week, but it manages to be slightly above those standards. It doesn't give you much to work with when it comes to a story, but you get just enough to keep you entertained. The scene with the robbery is a pretty good set-up to the story, we get some characters we can actually care about and the switching between two main locations keeps things relatively fresh. There are really only two problems I can have with "Bait". Firstly, the special effects are incredibly bad. Even to the CGI standards of a cheap B-movie, this just looks awful. Just look at the ending scene (watch the rest first, preferably), it almost looks like an animated movie. Cartoon sharks are not scary. And secondly, this is one of those horror movies that leaves way too many main characters alive. These people sure are lucky this huge supermarket full of decaying, bloody corpses only attracts two sharks, and both of them are ridiculously easy to trick. Wouldn't this place be infested by sharks within an hour or so? It's a decent effort, but it's not without its frustrating problems.

When a tsunami traps shoppers inside a coastal Australian supermarket, their survival prospects are reduced even further when Great White Sharks find their way into the area.It's as nutty as it sounds, a bonkers but wonderfully genius premise is played out with "B" movie heart and a smile on its face. Standard rules apply, there's a myriad of characters who are in need of redemption or reconciliations, and of course it's a time for heroes and villains to thrust themselves forward. Action and suspense is never far away, and neither is blood! There's even some humour to be found, especially with a bickering couple of teenage lovers.Some of the CGI is poor and as is the norm with this type of film, there's daft scenes that ask you to just roll with it. If you can do that then there's a good time to be had here. 6/10

I went into this with low expectations, and was happily surprised by this above average killer shark movie, which doesn't take itself too seriously, but also doesn't try for cheap laughs either. After a needless dramatic intro involving death of a brother, and a love triangle, the film gets good when its main plot kicks in, and a massive tsunami traps a group of people in a now submerged supermarket, with 10-feet long sharks, and live electric cables to contend with. An interesting and unique shark attack/ disaster flick, it wisely avoids going into Jaws territory with a giant shark, keeping the sharks in a more believable 10- 12 feet range, and also doesn't make any one character the focus of the plot, giving most of the characters a fair amount of screen time.
