I appreciate the content that Tubi offers for free. It is a streaming service with many quality movies that deserves more attention. As Swim is one of the first movies originally produced by Tubi, I wanted to like this movie. Unfortunately, this movie doesn't even live up to the standards of a Syfy Channel movie. The only positive comments that can be made are that the movie is fast-paced and that shark movies are always a little fun. This movie makes many mistakes that even a B horror movie shouldn't make. The list of problems in this movie include but are not limited to:
-A 55 year old actor pretending to be a 90 year old
-The lead actress keeps her mouth open for almost the entire film
-Very predictable number and order of deaths
-poor CGI and an unintimidating shark
-Painful dialogue (ex. At one point, an actor explains to the audience the purpose of a flare gun)
-Characters are either unlikeable or poorly developed
With the number of shark movies made each year, you can certainly find a better shark movie than this one. But hey, at least this film is better than Shark Exorcist (2015).
