I am shocked this was made by Guillermo Del Torro. What was he thinking??
1. The CIA captures an animal they say is the greatest discovery in all of human history and it needs to be protected and kept top secret. Yet, the janitor is able to spend hours and hours each day with this animal. There are no guards, no cameras, and apparently she has complete access to this room. Seriously?
2. The film clearly portrays the fish-man as more of a wild animal than a human, but the main character has sex with it anyway. Imagine a dolphin trainer at the zoo that is so lonely and depressed she starts having sex with the dolphins... Pretty gross right? That's pretty much what this movie is all about.
3. There is absolutely no subtly or nuance in the characters at all. The good ones, the bad ones; none of them. This movie is about as nuanced as a Disney Channel film from the 90s.
