Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Frankenfish is worth clearing space for. The set pieces are impressive, but it is the story underneath them that gives Frankenfish its staying power. When the body of a man is found completely destroyed in the swamps in Louisiana, the medical investigator Sam Rivers is assigned to investigate the murder.

They find that Chinese snake-heads genetically engineered that belong to a wealthy hunter are attacking and killing the locals. Tory Kittles and K.D. Aubert lead a cast that earns every set piece rather than just filling it. It hit screens in 2004. Frankenfish earns its bigger moments by making you care about the outcome before it happens. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.
