What are the chances that you’ll watch Dangerous Animals and come away thinking, “Now I want to go swim with the sharks!” Hopefully 100%. But probably not, though. The plot is, after all, about a guy played by Jai Courtney who lures people onto his boat so that he can record them getting ripped apart by bloodthirsty chompers. So yeah, it’s not exactly a glowing advertisement for cage diving. But you can certainly view it as a cautionary tale if you’re looking for tips on how to do things differently if you want to avoid becoming chum.
Anyway, there’s also a romantic subplot that I thought was kind of sweet but that my fellow moviegoers kept snickering at.
