Hidden Pleasure
Camp action but too stupid
Dr. Susan McAlester (Saffron Burrows) leads a team of scientists in Aquatica, an offshore research lab, to cure brain diseases like Alzheimer's. After a terrifying escaped test shark, investor Russell Franklin (Samuel L. Jackson) goes out to investigate. The scientists are expanding the brains of sharks, but the Harvard Genetics Compact doesn't allow the sharks to be genetically modified. At least, they are not supposed to.
None of it makes that much sense. Why built a facility offshore? Why not just built big tanks like an aquarium? If all they're doing is raise sharks, there has got to be an easier way. It's begging for trouble when the next big storm to hit. The whole thing doesn't past the smell taste. If you can get past the stink, there are some fun action and some water games. But I would mostly recommend against watching this.
