Don't believe the 5 star ratings, it really is bad
31 May 2023
This movie is really as bad as all reviews say it is. It starts already with the opening scene under water : it is absolute garbage, the director and cinematographer have no idea how to shoot underwater scenes, you can't tell what's going on and this happens each time they go under water. Somehow the protagonists end up on a abandoned oil rig surrounded by a ghostly superstition Mexican Megalodon of some sort, brought upon by the white man and the oil rig. I wasn't really paying attention when this part was explained because it took the pace out of the movie and was clearly "we are destroying the environment, global warming etc" nonsense, anyway the main cast make the most idiotic decisions and there is no plan, there is no goal, things just happen and then suddenly the movie is over (thank God !). The director has no idea how to keep tension; there is constant noise on the platform, presumably from the Megalodon doing ... something, we never get to see what it's doing because you only see flashes of this monster, where did it come from and what does it want ? We will never know. You don't feel any sympathy for the main characters, Josh Lucas is and always will be a B-actor and I was constantly wondering what this man was doing in a 100% Mexican produced movie, he is literally the only American in this flick.

Anyway he plays an oil company inspector of oil rigs and arrives at this oil platform, completely unaware of where everyone is but then halfway the movie there is a plot twist that makes you go "huh ? Then why did he act like that in the beginning ?". As another reviewer already pointed out : the script was probably written by AI. Avoid at all cost.
