Review
"How successful Orca: The Killer Whale is in its mission will be determined by the expectations with which it is approached. Folks expecting an intense but straightforward ecological action thriller that mimics Jaws will likely be underwhelmed because even though it is not downplayed here the action has a completely different function. On other hand, the film will surely resonate well with folks who appreciate a greater dose of authenticity and with it a more rational depiction of the 'dangerous killers' that supposedly hide in deep waters." - Dr. Svet Atanasov, Blu-ray.com
