Movie review - "Shark!" (1969) ***

Sam Fuller tried to take his name off this and as a result his cultusts haven't paid too much attention to it but it does still feel like a Fuller film - lots of tough guys being sweaty and the gal as ruthless as the main guys.

This isn't a bad adventure tale - set in Africa but shot in Mexico - about people diving for treasure. Burt Reynolds is good as the soldier of fortune who gets involved with Barry Sullivan, Arthur Kennedy and Silvia Pinal.

The acting is solid, there's some good action and scenes. Better than I thought it would be.
