In search of his father who has mysteriously disappeared diving in the city, David stumbles across the cryptic trail leading to the long-lost fortune of the Medici.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A pulpy action-adventure that stacks threats on top of threats, sharks, the Mafia, and Venice itself, for a ride that prioritizes spectacle and survival over plausibility. It's the kind of film that knows exactly what it is and leans into the absurdity of its premise.
