Review of The Shallows (2016) by Gentm2015 — 17 Sep 2016

The Shallows is a survival thriller film directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and stars Blake Lively in the lead as Nancy Adams. The film follows Nancy, a surfer who gets stranded away from the shore and attacked by a great white shark.

This is a really well made thriller that brings the whole shark attack back on the big screen roaring. I liked it a lot, and Blake Lively does a fantastic job on the role, especially considering that she is pretty much the only actress on the entire film. I also really liked the CGI shark, that looked really threatening and real, the cinematography by Flavio Labiano is really good to look at too.

It does get a bit too get going until the shark attack, but overall this movie is really well made and the director Jaume Collet-Serra keeps on making really entertaining thrillers over and over again. This one is no exception either because it has all the thrills and nail-biting scenes that make this a good summer fun flick.
