I never quite learned why it was called The Requin. What I did learn is that Alicia Silverstone can’t act. Also, that this movie couldn’t afford the special effects to make a shark look realistic. Or even just a shack floating on water.
i mean what other rating am i gonna give this like there’s no other choice
”A shark bit me and it was so bad”
You know those old-fashioned steakhouses with contests where if you eat the entire 72oz steak in one hour the meal is free and you get a badge. Theaters should totally run a similar contest with this utterly unwatchable movie.
The Requin Challenge Rules
1. The entire movie must be completed in one sitting. If at any point you step out of the theatre…YOU LOSE!
2. Before the film starts, you will be allowed to see and hear Alicia Silverstone scream one time. If the decibel level is good and you are satisfied with the picture quality, we will start the film. The movie will not stop, and the contest is on,…
We're gonna need a bigger budget!
"I fkn hate dolphins."
Me: why THE Requin & not Le Requin?
Alicia Silverstone: Lucy, you know I don't speak Mexican 😒

because we all needed another bad shark movie!
however this one TAKES 👏 THE 👏 CAKE 🎂 !!! CONGRATULATIONS FOR CREATING THE WORST SHARK MOVIE EVER! 🎉 AND FOR WASTING OVER 8 MILLION DOLLARS! 💞 YOU DESERVE ALL THE AWARDS! 🏆 ESPECIALLY WORST WRITING 🥇WORST CGI 🥇 AND WORST ACTING 🥇 IF IT DIDNT SOUND BAD ENOUGH 👎 THE SHARKS DONT SHOW UP UNTIL OVER AN HOUR IN! 🦈
Quite possibly the most frustrating shark attack film I’ve ever seen. This was so hard to get through. It's more of a laughably awful survival thriller with a tiny bit of shark attack. The marital drama fills the most runtime, the thing is, the acting is so intolerably bad making it almost unwatchable. If you think Alicia Silverstone can act, this film will prove you wrong. So bizarre that it feels like it's her untalented clone getting casted. The shark attacks are barely in this thing. I'm fine with bad CGI sharks but they don't even show up until around an hour mark. I normally can tolerate bad shark films because the terribleness can be somewhat entertaining but this one is just not fun at all. Don't bother.
It's fair to say that something's gone badly wrong in her career when you spend the whole of The Requin hoping Alicia Silverstone dies horribly.
I was actually slightly excited about this because its director, Le-Van Kiet, made Furie a couple of years ago and I thought it was a terrific action movie. But this is about a hundred steps back from that, and it ain't going to be an entry point into Hollywood for him.
Let's take the poster for a start. That shark is about 17 times bigger than the one in the actual movie. I've had bigger cods from the local chippy. What this poster also, obviously, suggests is that this is going to be a shark…
never wanted a movie to end faster in my life

Ich habe an anderer Stelle schon einmal geschrieben, dass meine Reviews hier in Letterboxd eigentlich Nachrichten an mein zukünftiges Ich sind. Damit ich meine Lehren aus dem Heute, morgen noch weiß!
In diesem Sinne:
Lieber Mister Cap aus der Zukunft,
anscheinend interessiert du dich auch noch morgen für Filme mit Haien am Cover und lässt dich nicht davon abschrecken, dass du gerade in diesem Subgenre fast nur Müll gesehen hast, oder warum sonst liest du dir gerade meine/deine Review zu diesem Schundfilm vom Mai 2022 durch?
Konfuzius soll vor vielen, vielen Jahren gesagt haben, dass der Mensch drei Wege hat, klug zu handeln: Erstens durch nachdenken - das ist der edelste, zweitens durch nachahmen - das ist der…
i think my love for Alicia Silverstone in the 90s might have been because of something else than acting talents...
Look, I like a good, or even bad shark film as much as the next person, but this…
I was actually kinda more positive when I saw Alicia Silverstone in this, but Jesus H. she was absolutely abysmal. The worst acting I’ve seen in a very long time. She’s permanently damaged my option of her in Batman Forever, because I will always remember this atrocity.
The shark isn’t even in it that much, and the first proper glimpse of it, you could easily mistake it for an inflatable balloon.
But before all that, the main characters are so desperate to be found they literally burn their best chance of actually surviving. Just awful writing overall.
Avoid at all costs, or just watch to see how shite it is.
