Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A masked wrestler investigates a scientist turning stolen spinal fluid into a fish-man project. Acapulco provides the sunshine; the villain provides the extremely questionable biology. This Mexican superhero adventure is cheerful pulp, with wrestling logic applied confidently to marine science.
