Biography

Ancien monteur installé en Angleterre, il débute dans les années 1980. D’abord réalisateur de clips-vidéo, il passe plus tard à la réalisation de long-métrage, parmi lesquels : Derek and Clive Get the Horn (comédie).

Il se dirige ensuite vers le cinéma de genre dans lequel il peut bien mieux s’exprimer. Razorback, un survival d’épouvante. En 1986, il réalise Highlander (science-fiction) dans lequel il dirige Christophe Lambert et Sean Connery. Le film est un succès. Plus tard, il réalise Highlander, le retour. Cette suite est massacrée par la critique, et ne rencontrera pas le même succès…

En 1988, il commence le tournage de Rambo 3 mais après seulement quelques jours de tournage, il est remercié par les producteurs du film pour "divergences artistiques".

Au cours des années 1990, il réalise plusieurs films : Ricochet, Blue Ice, L'Affaire Karen McCoy et Résurrection (Resurrection).

The movie opens with a hungover lifeguard, Josh (Xavier Samuel), being woken up by friend and fellow lifeguard Rory (Richard Brancatisano). Rory tells Josh that he shouldn't have proposed to his sister, Tina (Sharni Vinson), then offers to set a buoy for Josh. Josh visits Tina, who discusses their upcoming move to Singapore. As Rory boards into the ocean to set a buoy, a shark appears and kills a man in the water. Alerted to the danger, Josh quickly takes a jet ski and goes to get Rory, but is too late. Rory is squirted into the water, and Josh is unable to save him before he is devoured.
