Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/6 --
Faintly egotistical biologist-turned-filmmaker Rob Stewart spent four years making this investigative doc and the result, despite his tendency towards over-earnest, stoner-esque commentary, is enlightening, shocking and more than a little worrying.

Time Out
This beautiful and urgent eco-doc takes a bite out of the shark mythology made indelible by JAWS. -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3/5 --
If the film sometimes gets choppy, the filmmaker's passion for the subject and the disturbing revelations to be gained from watching the film make it more than worthwhile.
GreenCine
Stewart has captures some enchanting underwater footage -- undulating seaweed, the synchronised billow of a vast school of fish, a serene congregation of hammerhead sharks...

This beautiful and horrifying debut feature by the underwater cameraman Rob Stewart of Toronto characterizes the depletion of the world's shark population as an ecological catastrophe with dire consequences for humanity.

Rating: 2/5 --
With its stunning photography this would be a righteous and magnificent documentary were it not for the on-camera presence of film-maker Rob Stewart, marine biology's answer to Tom Cruise.

It's a film you come away from feeling that you should get out there on the streets and start marching for sharks.
