No fun

I thought that after you won an Oscar you didn’t have to do crap like this anymore. Halle Berry plays a “shark whisperer” fraught with guilt over the death by great white of a safety diver to the point where she’s retired from the shark biz and her boat is being repossessed. Her boyfriend comes up with a solution in the form of an arrogant but very rich Brit (Ralph Brown) who will pay €100,000 to swim with the GWs. (BTW: can someone tell me what the oily Olivier Martinez is doing in the movies? Oh, right. Halle’s fiancé). The melodrama culminates in an incomprehensible finale in a squall. No fun.
