While not able to karate kick the shark, Jason Statham does his best to take the fight to the shark.    However, while advertised as the biggest shark of them all, it just doesn’t do enough damage. While it has a chance to swallow tons of swimmers, it prefers to just swim around under them…why? And the few times it does attack people, there’s an extreme shortage of blood. It’s a shark movie, lets see it sink its teeth into someone.    There’s plenty of excitement in the fina
