‘Dark Tide’ trailer: Will Halle Berry sink or swim?

THE Oscar winner will have to act her socks off to get noticed in John Stockwell’s shark and seal-infested adventure. Could her bikini save her? John Stockwell might be best known for playing ‘Cougar in Top Gun’, but he is carved out a secondary career as a director of very specialist films. It was Stockwell, who brought us ‘Blue Crush’, the film where Kate Bosworth wore a bikini and splashed around in the sea. He also brought us ‘Into the Blue’, the film where Jessica Alba wore a bikini and splashed around in the sea.But John Stockwell’s newest film is something of a departure. It’s ‘Dark Tide’, a film where Halle Berry wears a bikini and splashes around in the sea – but it does not have the word “blue” in the title. But what does ‘Dark Tide’ have to offer us? And what actually happens in it? Unless of course one of the divers gets eaten by a shark – which is what happens. Distraught, and haunted by the memory of some guy getting his head chewed off, Halle decides to give up the shark-diving business for good and head to Hollywood to make her name in the movie business.
