Shark movies are bad. We all know that. You have to judge them against one another to some extent. And Dam Sharks! is... okay in that regard. The kills the sharks do are better than average, and it's... An original premise? I guess? Still just so stupid though. Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.
