Most shark thrillers leave you dissatisfied. Not “Above & Below,” which metes out the shark attacks when warranted and makes them less CGI corny and more realistic.

There's just way too much going on

If you’re in the mood for pure entertainment and edge of seat thrills, then check out Above And Below. Sure it’s preposterous, but you’re absolutely assured a a damn good time. Climb aboard, set sail – but just don’t get into the water!

The script teases a recurrent theme about the dangerous outcome of keeping secrets, but as with the characters and anything resembling logic, it ultimately does nothing with it.
