Review of The Shallows (2016) by James M — 22 Oct 2016
This movie is probably the best Shark movie we've had in a long time. There are elements of the original frights of Jaws mixed with the over the top spectacle we wouod expect from the Sharknado series.
Lively's performance is excellent and we become invested in her character and truly care what happens to her. The shark is done well, probably the best cgi we've seen as of late and the director does a good job holding off on showing the beast too much until the latter third of the movie.
The third act nearly throws it all out the window with a series of over the top action sequences that seemed to come from the mind of a 10 year old.
