Warning

    There are two sequences in the film where actors interact with live sharks underwater, grabbing and wrestling with them. Both sequences end with the sharks swimming away seemingly unharmed with no visible blood or wounds. Technically no animals were harmed but the dubious morality of bothering/ scaring live creatures against their will for the sake of a movie may be interpreted as animal cruelty and distressing to some. View at your own discretion.
