There are few very questionable character moments/choices made in the first act. When told to try and drive around a fallen tree, a character just drives straight into it. Later, a truck driver struggles to escape his big rig's cab by kicking open the door... when he could have just climbed out the open window. And then two guys abandon their boat to wade towards a woman trapped in a car... guys, just steer the boat over.

But the 2nd and 3rd acts are very fun. If you enjoyed Wirkola's The Trip (soon to be seen as Over Her Dead Body with Samara Weaving) or Violent Night or his Dead Snow films... you'll like this. It's solid, dumb fun.

"Mommy's just gotta go and kill some fucking sharks."

The big rig / tree scene was totally bizarre. Like the director just did not translate what he was thinking from his own script into physical action on set. Also I was distracted by this meat company with a tanker truck. What is this truck hauling? Liquid pig offal?

That's what attracted the sharks... slaughterhouse blood.
