I saw some trailers for a movie where a deranged serial killer played by Jai Courtney feeds people to sharks. It looked absurd. I read it was directed by Sean Bryne, who hadn't made a movie since 2015, with a screenplay by Nick Lepard (their first produced screenplay). I didn't have high hopes, but then I've read it is actually...good? Jai Courtney is deliciously unhinged, and the sharks are more like the serial killer's tool (like a knife) than the focal point. The central story is a cat-and-mouse game played between Courtney's character, Tucker (portrayed with Courtney's native Aussie accent), and Hassie Harrison as an American surfer girl named Zephyr who is more tenacious than expected when attempts are made to feed her to some sharks.
Hearing that the movie is so bizarre that it somehow works piques my interest. I may just try to make time to see in theaters or at least rent it via the internet when that becomes an option (flicks come to streaming for rental faster and faster these days). I guess, "Serial killer, but uses a shark as the weapon" can be a winning formula!
