 Story:
 The movie opens with a hungover Josh being woken up by Rory. Rory tells Josh that he shouldn't have proposed to his sister, Tina. Rory says Tina is at the beach, and that she has something for him. Josh sees Tina and she shows him a seahorse. Meanwhile, an old man is swimming out in the ocean and Rory, a lifeguard, is also out on the water. Another lifeguard on the watch tower sees the old man being eaten by a shark, but is unable to alert Rory. Josh quickly takes a jet ski and goes to get him; but before he can explain, a shark bursts through Rory's board and sends him flying into the water. Josh struggles to get Rory up onto the jet ski but the shark pulls him under and he is devoured.

A year later, Josh walks to the supermarket where he now works. As he gets there, 2 people in a car - Doyle and Kirby - are discussing a robbery. They drive into the car park where Kyle and Heather are parked for a make-out session, with Heather's dog, Bully, sitting in the back seat. Meanwhile, in the supermarket, Jaimie begins to shoplift and is subsequently chased by a security guard. She hides in the delivery room where she meets her boyfriend Ryan. Ryan's boss Jessup walks in with the security guard and tells Jaime he has called the police. He also fires Ryan.

On the floor, Josh is stocking shelves with Naomi when he sees Tina with her new boyfriend Steven. Just as he's about to engage in a conversation with her, Jessup steps up and tells Josh to go clean himself up. Meanwhile, a police officer, Todd, arrives, and is revealed to be Jaimie's dad.

Doyle and Kirby make an agreement about what happens after the robbery, and proceed into the supermarket. Doyle forces Jessup to open a safe, but it is empty. He then asks where the money is as they walk towards the cash registers. There, Todd stops him, but Kirby holds a gun to a woman's head.

Outside, Ryan walks over to Todd's car that Jaimie is in and lets her out. While Jaimie goes back into the supermarket to get her boyfriend his job back, Ryan walks back to his van to leave, but a flat battery keeps him from leaving.

Back in the supermarket, Josh hears a gunshot and runs through to the others. Kirby has shot the woman and is now holding Tina at gunpoint. Suddenly, a tsunami wave floods the supermarket, trapping Kyle, Heather and Ryan in the car park. The only survivors inside the supermarket are Tina, Josh, Doyle, Kyle, Heather, Steven, Jaimie, Jessup, Kirby, Todd, Naomi and Neil. As they try to find a way out of the supermarket, Neil is killed by a 12 foot great white shark. Meanwhile, a second great white approaches Kyle and Heather, who are trapped in their car. A wire in the supermarket starts to spark so Steven turns off the electricity, but drowns after his success. The shark in the car park smashes Kyle's window, filling his car with water. Ryan, standing on top of his flipped van, cuts off a dead woman's hand and puts it in the water, distracting the shark. Kyle and Heather swim to the van, but Kyle lets the dog go in order to save himself at the last minute.

The survivors in the store try to escape through a vent, but Jessup is bitten in half by the shark, attracted by crabs falling from the vent. Kirby gets knocked into the water, prompting Doyle to feed Jessup's other half to the shark in order to save Kirby. Back in the car park, Ryan attempts to get back to his van using the pipes, but he falls in. Kyle saves him, but is knocked into the water and killed. Inside the supermarket, the remaining group make a plan to catch their shark. The plan fails due to the lack of live bait, so Kirby grabs a hook and puts it through Naomi's shirt, using her as bait. Before the shark can attack, Doyle stabs Kirby and saves Naomi, making Kirby the bait. With live bait, the survivors catch the shark successfully.

As the group in the supermarket make their way out and find Bully alive, Jaimie hears Ryan banging on the pipes. She and Josh go to rescue Ryan and Heather from the car park, but are chased by the second shark to Todd's car. Josh grabs Todd's taser and shotgun, jumps into the water and kills the shark with the shotgun. The four of them get back into the supermarket and and are moving to the exit when a tremor strikes, breaking the first shark loose. Josh realizes he still has the taser, and uses it to kill the shark. Ryan, Josh, Todd, Jaimie, Tina, Heather, Bully, Doyle and Naomi leave the supermarket, reaching the severely damage street. The camera follows a bird out to sea, where a shark jumps up at the camera.

Shark attack is never a bad movie, unless the storyline is really sucks. But i love seeing shark chomp up the human flesh~ hehe :) The storyline is not bad, due to the tsunami and it has cause the sea water flooded the whole city. Of course the scary sharks came in at the same time. I love Qi Yu Wu, his acting and his body is so so superb ~ no doubt, but too bad he is not the main actor~
