A treacherous Louisiana river is the setting where divorced couple
Sanders (
Lou Diamond Philips) and
Kelly (
Kristy Swanson) forget their differences long enough to search for a new source of energy. The couple is joined -- and later waylaid -- by a pair of crooks named
Ice (
Coolio) and
Jerry (
Jaimz Woolvett), who are convinced that a cache of stolen loot rests somewhere at the bottom of the river. Before long, everyone is in danger of being sliced and diced by a rogue freshwater shark. Another of the several million
Jaws derivations glutting the cable TV airwaves,
Red Water at the very least boasts excellent animatronic special effects -- not to mention a dead-body count that would shame a
Rambo or
Terminator. The film debuted August 17, 2003, on
TBS.
