Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Red Water
John, former driller turned down-on-his-luck fisherman, is hired to drill in the Louisiana bayou. He will be part of a team led by his estranged wife, Kelli, and the job should allow him to save his boat. What John knows is that a shark has been attacking swimmers in the river. What he doesn't know is that a gang of thieves is diving for lost loot not far away...

The thieves take the drilling team hostage, and John must save Kelli and his friends from both the criminals and the hungry shark.
