It's April 28th, I'm Cory with the story. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, today, driven by AI and build for the culture. A new shark flick called Deepwater just hit theaters, directed by Renny Harlan and backed by KissFrontman Jean Simmons through his production, Company with ArcLive Films. The plot kicks off with a passenger plane crashing into the ocean right above a fancy dinner spot and shark swarmed the wreckage instantly, chowing. Known on Survivors before the flames even die out, it's a sequel to the old Bay 3D from around 2014, now revived with a big ensemble cast. This project got shelled back then over aqua parallels to the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Disappearance, but they've doubted back too, pure B-movie vibes, ditching any real drama for over-the-top archetypes and quick kills. Think hot newlyweds, trying the mile high club, mid-flight with kids in tow, a sassy grandma flashing grand kit picks, gamer teammates, a bully meet-head, and flight attendants who

mostly blend together. Stand out as Angus Samson is Dan, the sweaty, low-sum jerk who arouses everyone and gets rifly-shart, making you cheer when it happens. The rest feel like cartoon cutouts, which fits the low-stakes fun, but highlights how predictable the attacks are. Twist. Critics are calling it better than straight-to-streaming trash, landing a solid C-plus grade, though it falls short of top shark flicks like the, shallows or deep blue sea. Still, in a sea of bland disaster movies, it delivers that old school charm, without pretending to be deep. Catch deep water in theaters, starting May 1st, if you're down for some guilty pleasure shark chaos that sticks to the basics.
