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.

More a survival-at-sea drama than a people-versus-sharks thriller, but satisfying all the same.

2.5/4

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.

1/5

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.

I think Alicia Silverstone might deserve both a Razzie and an Oscar for this performance
