Dark Tide (2012)

A South African British American action thriller directed by John Stockwell, starring Halle Berry and Ralph Brown.
A woman who used to swim with sharks has broken up with her husband and is now running seal and whale tours on her boat. A rich man contacts the husband and has him convince her to take the rich man out to swim with sharks.
Stupid. I have not seen Halle Berry in a good movie. This was simplistic and the ending was unclear. Most of the duration was taken up by pointless underwater scenes. What little plot there was made me wish that I was not watching it. The characters were extremely shallow: not even cardboard, but paper cutouts. What made this banal and vapid film worse was that it was an hour and 45 minutes long when it could have fit into a 20 minute short. I can only assume that the only reason to watch this would be Halle Berry in a bikini, but in this age of plentiful internet pornography, why bother? I rate this bad because it was not quite as painful to watch as some other recent entries. Don't watch it.
