No, The Shallows is not perfect, but Blake Lively is. She gave an amazing performance and this shark movie really had my eyes focused on the screen intensely. Blake Lively was very hot in this film and they made her wear a swimsuit for nearly the whole movie.

The film itself and its plot wasn't perfect, but it was entertaining given the short 87 minutes runtime. I honestly hoped this movie was longer, but the film wasn't rushed and it took the time to make the audience feel suspense, which was by far the second best thing about this film.

The suspense really had me watching and I really loved how the director would have the camera go underwater and above water. The trailer did spoil some things so I kinda guessed where this movie would go.

Overall, The Shallows was a really fun film, but for some reason I felt like the film wasn't a huge hit and it seemed like a forgettable movie. But go see The Shallows as Blake Lively is great and the shark scenes are definitely worth it.
