Piranha 3D
Supercharged carnivorous fish snacking on scantily clad co-eds...in 3D? Yes, please
August 25, 2010
Barry Wurst II
Three out of Five Stars
Rated R/89 min.
Despite its considerable flaws, two things make Piranha 3D both recommendable and utterly critic-proof: the killer fish look great and the 3D effects are the best I’ve seen all year.
Elisabeth Shue stars as a local law enforcer who discovers that, during an especially rowdy Spring Break weekend, the waters are overflowing with a bloodthirsty, thought-to-be-extinct breed of monster piranhas. Boats full of drunk, scantily clad and exceptionally stupid co-eds are soon mere appetizers for the toothy creatures, which are fast and ugly, like Gremlins with gills.
