a5c7b9f00b Sharks attack a fish rodeo on the Mississippi River, and it is up to a group of locals to stop them. A traditional fishing competition/fun on the river festival is interrupted by hungry sharks coming a bit too north up the Mississippi River. The festivities are to be hosted by movie star Jason London, star of a B-movie franchise called &quot;Shark Bite&quot;. London is actually a phony shark hunter there to pick up some quick money from the TV competition. With the sharks breaking up any fun or fishing on the river, the pompous actor is pretty useless when a group of locals try to make the marinas and river safe by killing the sharks. The CGI is aboutbadthe acting. But there are fans for this type of thing.<br/><br/>The cast also features: Cassie Steele, Miles Doleac, Kevin J. McGrath, Jeremy London and Tahj Vaughans. RELEASED TO TV IN 2017 and directed by Misty Talley, &quot;Mississippi River Sharks&quot; details events in Mississippi when several sharks travel up the river looking for a new food source and threaten people at a fish rodeo.<br/><br/>Some of these TV shark-attack flicks take the serious route (e.g. 2009&#39;s &quot;Malibu Shark Attack&quot;) while others shoot for campy amusement (e.g. 2012&#39;s &quot;Jersey Shore Shark Attack). &quot;Mississippi River Sharks&quot; takes the latter approach. Thankfully, it&#39;s not all goofy; there&#39;s some serious drama thrown into the mix, like the blossoming romance between Tara (Cassie Steele) and the black dude (Tahj Vaughans),wellissues with her dad (Miles Doleac). Jason London plays himselfthe star of the fictitious B-movie franchise &quot;Shark Bite,&quot; although he wasn&#39;t in &quot;Shark Bite 3&quot; (lol).<br/><br/>The meshing of silly comedy and cartoony gore with serious drama offers a mixed experience. It&#39;s entertaining to a degree, but you can&#39;t take it serious. The presence of Cassie Steele and cutie Ashton Leigh (in the prologue &amp; epilogue) are never milked for their potential. The movie&#39;s likable, but overlong at only about 87 minutes. The weak final act drags.<br/><br/>THE MOVIE WAS SHOT IN Ocean Springs, Mississippi, with studio work done in New Orleans. WRITER: Marcy Holland. ADDITIONAL CAST: Dean J. West plays one of the three main protagonists while Michelle West appearsa pesky, but perky reporter.<br/><br/>GRADE: C
