Lone Star Shark 3 2025 is the sixth foray into sharksploitation for writer and director Brett Bentwood and is the third in the Lone Star Shark trilogy. The plot is a continuation and wrap of the first and second movies.The lake location is the same as the previous movies, small, private and largely unconvincing. It’s been two years since the events of the first movie and the double traumatised lead protagonist is going for either redemption or the trauma trifecta. The acting is the most convincing of the trilogy in as much as the motivations are now well defined and the traumas aptly characterised. The overlong back stories that still occur as late as act 3 take away any momentum that was built and will severely tempt you to press the fwd button. This final script entry is wordy. It’s jarring in its treatment of flashback and hallucinations that take you out of the present and disrupts the pace. Unlike its predecessors however the last 10 minutes are pure sharksploitation, with bikini count, full on rubber shark attack and big guns. Then it just fizzles out.

Final thoughts on the trilogy extend only to that I feel this 200 odd minute trilogy would have made an enjoyable 90 minute movie. instead we are treated to an additional 110 odd minutes of wordy trauma angst. I believe these movies were never really meant to be viewed standalone as there endings feel tagged on and ultimately unsatisfying. But the rubber shark is definitely something to behold.
