This one came in kind of late in that period of all the 007-imitation movies. Some of them were terrible, like "Operation Kid Brother" (which starred Sean Connery's brother Neil!). And some were pretty good, like "Innocent Bystanders". It is well-directed and its cinematography is excellent. Its rapid editing is really neat at first, but it gets kind of annoying after a while. Baker is excellent as a cold-blooded agent who has been double-crossed by his own people. I was amused by the constant bickering of Baker's two rival agents. "Innocent Bystanders" also has a couple alumni from the 007 movies: Donald Pleasence from "You Only Live Twice" ...

This movie is not to be confused with the somewhat popular Jaws ripoff of the same name that came out six years later. For instance, that movie actually had to do with piranha, the fish, whereas this movie is just about a guy named Piranha and they mention the fish once. Actually, its not even Piranha, its Caribe, which just means piranha, so you can see why theyd name this Piranha
