I expected a dumb, fun movie but i'm still left relatively disappointed. There were a few fun jokes here and there, but the clichés (and there were a lot of them!) were played completely straight. Instead of making me laugh, they made me groan. Jason Statham is always an instant +1 for any movie he's in for me, but the rest of the cast is wildly varying. DJ is a fun character, Jack (Rainn Wilson's character) is a bit of an un-entertaining character but he's relatively well acted. Suyin's character had a very weird, stilted delivery of most lines.
The CG was very off at times too. The shark looks fine, but any effects that are not underwater are full-on B-movie. The helicopter in the beginning and a moment where cranes fell off a boat in particular had me thinking 'why am I watching this in a theater'. Entertaining but eh.
