IMDB Storyline
A businessman sinks $200 million into a special project to help fight Alzheimer's disease. As part of this project, medical biologist Susan McAlester rather naughtily figures out a way to genetically enlarge shark brains, so that disease-battling enzymes can be harvested. However, the shark subjects become super smart and decide they don't much like being cooped up in pens and being stabbed with hypodermics, so they figure a way to break out and make for the open sea...

WHAT I LIKED
It seemed to me that the story was very well infused with the action, When they brought Russell Franklin (Samuel L Jackson) to the facility , to a place in the middle of the ocean and heard Dr. Susan McCallister (Saffron Burrows) tell him that they have a small crew on weekends, something said this was not going to be good.When a staff member said God did not create the shark they had captive and then lost his arm, you knew it was going to get bad, While the shark was a product of Science fiction it brought you in and made you believe it. And it ask that moral question: How far do you go to find a cure for a horrible disease like Alzheimer's?
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE
Who was the bad guy? They did not convince me that Dr.Susan McCallister was that evil. She saw her dad die of a horrible disease, and she was desperate to do something about it. It had a good ending but not the way I would have liked it. I felt bad for the Doctor in the end.
Movie was rated R, very good rating, Not everyone in the family could handle this movie because of very violent shark attacks.
Gave this movie a 7 on IMDB, Did not see it on the big screen, but did buy it on DVD, may upgrade to Blue Ray.
