Dark Tide review

Hally Berry's Great White-thriller is totally lost at sea

Halle Berry strips down to her bikini (again) in this toothless shark drama from maritime-mad John Stockwell ( Into The Blue , Blue Crush ).

Playing a traumatised free-swimmer who survives a face-to-face encounter with a hungry Great White, the actress suffers the curse of Oscar in a movie that thinks her only talent is in her D cups.

Blood flows in the first five and final 10 minutes, but the rest of Dark Tide is a turgid morass of over-written characters and murky underwater photography.
