Review of The Shallows (2016) by Viktor N — 09 Sep 2018
Unnecessarily...deep for an 80-minute survival thriller that's basically "Mrs. Deadpool vs. giant CGI shark", I can't say I wasn't entertained by The Shallows. Blake Lively did a really good job, the cinematography of the Australian beach pretending to be a Mexican beach that's hard to find looks beautiful.
Were it not for the shark, this beach looks really inviting. The CGI shark looks amazing. You could swear that shark was real. The nothing is scarier vibe certainly helps this movie. I wanted Blake to make it out okay and there were even a few genuinely disturbing moments.
The Shallows isn't truly memorable but it's a surprisingly entertaining thriller.
