There's terror in paradise when Jaelyn (Alicia Silverstone) and Kyle (James Tupper) arrive at a remote seaside villa in Vietnam for a romantic getaway. A torrential storm descends, reducing the villa to little more than a raft and sweeping the young couple out to sea. Suddenly, another danger appears: a school of great white sharks. With her injured husband watching helplessly, Jaelyn must battle the deadly predators alone in this tense thriller that rides an unrelenting wave of fear.

The Requin | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Joe Leydon Variety More a survival-at-sea drama than a people-versus-sharks thriller, but satisfying all the same. Jan 29, 2022 Full Review The Requin | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com The Requin may not be the best showcase for Kiet's talent after Furie, his thrilling 2019 Vietnamese martial arts drama, but it's consistently intriguing, which makes up for other glaring deficiencies. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 28, 2022 Full Review The Requin | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies The cheesy (and at times cringe-worthy) melodrama never remotely feels authentic. And the ludicrous character blunders and the laughably bad CGI make the whole man-versus-nature elements impossible to buy. Rated: 1/5 Oct 28, 2022 Full Review The Requin | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Andrew Galdi Movie Bitches I think Alicia Silverstone might deserve both a Razzie and an Oscar for this performance Aug 4, 2022 Full Review The Requin | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Avaryl Halley Movie Bitches This movie has about 4% Shark Aug 4, 2022 Full Review The Requin | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Peter Gray Brisbanista The choice to make the film more about them as a couple is made all the more confusing when it reveals its climactic lunacy, presenting laughable CGI thats at odds with the type of performance Silverstone is allowing the film Rated: 1.5/5 Apr 25, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Rob the movie guy Omg where do I start. THE WORST MOVIE IVE SEEN IN 2 YEARS!!!!!!!!!. HORRIBLE “ACTING” if you can even call it that. Fake/ cheap CGI sharks, water, ocean you name it was bad!! The iPhone was even outdated like a 7 or 8. That lady acting just needs to stop she was the worst female actor I’ve seen in a while like wtf please safe your money don’t go. I walked about hour into the movie I couldn’t take it anymore Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/22 Full Review Jace Terrible CGI bad acting worst shark movie ever Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/22 Full Review emma It was horrible acting and it looks so unreal… come on it’s 2022 and we can’t make a decent movie! Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/22 Full Review Eli People watching this expecting a JAWS- like story will be severely disappointed. Sharks are really only in the film for maybe about 10-15 minutes and even then, the CGI is so bad that you wished they weren’t in it at all. The only reason I gave it the rating I did is because i found myself thinking about what I would do if I were in that situation, it’s a scary thing to think about. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/22 Full Review Jake Really enjoyed this one. Just good old fashioned intense scenes. Effects were a bit low budget, but not distracting. It was good to see a movie with Alicia in it. A few good, unexpected moments thrown in there too! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/22 Full Review Gabrielle A This was literally the worst most hilarious video the green screen effects was outrageous the level of fake this movie is, HILARIOUS. The shark was so fake. This movie ain’t even Tubi worthy. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
