Kate (Halle Berry) is a shark expert whose business has been failing since a shark attack killed a fellow diver under her command. Once dubbed "the shark whisperer," Kate is haunted by the memory of the attack and unable to get back into the water. With bills piling up and the bank about to foreclose on Kate's boat, Kate's old flame Jeff (Olivier Martinez) presents her with a lucrative opportunity: lead a t hrill-seeking millionaire businessman on a dangerous shark dive…outside the cage. Battling her self-doubts and fear, Kate accepts the proposal -- and sets a course for the world's deadliest feeding ground: Shark Alley.

The film takes place in scenic South Africa. We get the National Geographic tour. The film starts out great showing us Halle Berry's cleavage, a guy filming her cleavage, and then they throw a shark into the film...and no more cleavage. Halle's hobby is to pet Great Whites in open water out of a cage. She is married to Jeff who films the action. So when sharks suddenly behave badly, Halle quits diving with them.
After a year, Jeff is trying to get back with Halle. The have fights about the relationship. The film contains Halle doing a first person philosophical narration and the music is very tame, not what one expects for an action/thriller. Halle who has spent 10 years in the water doesn't like the smell of fish and screams when someone tries to push her in. Clearly this is an action flick written for women, or by a woman (Amy Sorlie). In one scene Jeff apologizes for whatever it was that made Halle angry. Halle is angry that he doesn't know why she is angry and won't tell him...because he should know! She finally says, "You have no idea what's wrong with me!"
As Halle's business starts to fail, a wealthy Brit (Ralph Brown) trying to connect with his son (Mark Elderkin) wants to swim with Great Whites without a cage. Halle is reluctant but agrees.
They set out in the water to go dancing with sharks. And if everything went well, there wouldn't be a movie. Dad fights with son, Jeff fights with dad, Halle fights with Jeff, and Halle fights with dad. At this point I was hoping a two headed mega shark would swallow the whole boat. The climatic scene I can't detail because I have no idea what is happening. Everyone is in the same dark suits and it is dark. The full view film of the sharks appear to be stock footage. (Ed Wood would be so proud.) This is more of a drama with some poorly shot action scenes.
No f-bombs (that I caught), sex, or nudity. Some PG-13 name calling. Might be enjoyed by women who like a soft female lead in an "action thriller."

I give this movie one star for the sharks, as previous reviewers mentioned the shark footage is pretty amazing, and one star split between wonderful shots of S Africa and equally, (for this viewer) pleasant shots of Mr Martinez. The story line itself was almost unpalatable. As someone else stated, mbee for the girls, I doubt even then. Without giving any spoilers there is little to say other than any action above the waves was plain tedious and even annoying. With that said, I am not sorry to have rented this, I really loved the underwater footage, but I really wish I had waited until it was the 99 cent special, as it is obviously destined to be.

Halle Berry is the best in the business when it comes to swimming with sharks. Following a shark attack on a friend, Berry retreats to giving boat tours until a rich father offers her a price for he and his son to swim with the very thing she is trying to avoid. The film falls in neither the action, horror, or thriller genres as marketed by the studio and DVD rental services. It's a flat out drama about a woman re-discovering who she is and living up to reality. Awesome underwater shots, Halle Berry in a bikini, and live shark footage help give this DTV title a 3/5.

Absolutely boring for me and was shocked to see Halle Berry play such a role. She's a fine actress.
A no brainer no watch for me.

Poor effort
While the star of the show looked very good, the movie itself was slow and predictable. I will put this one in storage.

disapointment
Miss Berry didn't even try to act in this movie. Must of been a perk to make a few extra bucks. Worst show you could ever own or rent. Don't bother
