Mako - Lo squalo della morte

A low-budget movie about a man who befriends the sharks. He seeks revenge against anyone trying to hurt them.

The best part about the movie would be the real shark footage. None of the sharks are fake, all real footage. There is plenty of it too. The rest of the movie is a little questionable. The filming is lower-budget. The story so simple that it's very slow in most places with little script and not much going on. It's not a horror movie and not a comedy. Maybe a thriller/drama? There's no gore. Very little action. The movie nearly waits until the end for it to pick up a little.

I can't decide who the bad guy is. They make the man seem weird and bad because he feeds people to the sharks. But if you think about it, the people are actually the bad ones for poaching or intentionally harming the sharks. And yet the movie fails to make us feel sympathy for the sharks, instead we only feel fear. There is very little human connection or relationships in the movie. Very little emotion being shown. And the ending is disappointing.

It's a fun plot, but the movie lacked in the ability to really bring it to life on screen. I did enjoy all of the real shark footage. And I liked the fact they did not use any fake CGI or robotics or things. I did enjoy the main actor as well.
