City Sharks is a 2003 Singaporean comedy road film directed by Esan Sivalingam, starring Sheikh Haikel, Nicholas Lee and Hans Isaac.

[1] Sivalingam filed two lawsuits against Malaysian production house Gambar Tanah Licin for refusing to release the film.

[4] Jeanmarie Tan of The New Paper rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "At turns funny, poignant and dealing with feel-good themes of family and belonging, City Sharks is one gamble that does pay off.

"[5] Clarissa Oon of The Straits Times rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that Farley's "evocative" cinematography and Richmond's "eclectic" and "pulsating" soundtrack "lifts the film above other formulaic homegrown English-language comedies like One Leg Kicking and Chicken Rice War", and praised the performances of Sheikh, Lee, Isaac, Lim, Koh and Kang.

[4] Yong Shu Chiang of Today wrote that while the film "lacks bite in its dialogue, has so-so acting and could have benefited from a more polished script", it "has its moments".
