Review of Jaws (1975) by F B — 08 Sep 2013
"Get out of the water!!!".
After a girl was murdered in the water police chief Brody suspects the worst, but the mayor is mindful of the lucrative tourist trade and the approaching July 4th holiday he refuses to put the island on a business hiatus shark alert. After the shark grubs on a few more victims the mayor orders the local fishermen to catch the creature responsible. They're happy with the shark they find then the greedy mayor reopens the beaches regardless of the warning from the visiting ichthyologist. Another fatality later Brody joins forces with crazy old Quint which is the only local fisherman willing to take on a Great White only because the price is right. The three ride off on Quint's boat soon coming face to teeth with the beast. This movie showcased what Steven Spielberg could do by creating terrific action and suspense. To many Jaws will forever live in infamy as one the greatest films ever made and to this day has scared thousands of people out of the water.
