Red Water (2003)

John, who used to work for an oil company, is a fisherman whose money problems lead to the bank threatening to repossess his boat. When he is approached by his ex-wife to assess a potential drilling site in the swamps, he grudgingly takes the job for the paycheck.

In an incredible coincidence, the drilling platform just happens to be right next to where criminals are diving to retrieve millions of dollars of drug money that has been dumped in the swamp. A clash between the two groups ensues. Oh and did I mention there have been body parts showing up in the swamps due to the huge shark that has adapted to fresh water? And in an even bigger coincidence, this shark is also in this area?

The cgi shark is something I've seen in another movie recently. I wish I could remember which one, but I've definitely seen it in another shark movie.

The characters spouted some very odd lines which made no sense. Also from the cover you'd expect the shark to be a much bigger part of this, but the film is fairly free from shark scenes.
