„The Shallows" is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra starring Blake Lively.

As the center (and the only main) actor. It's a drama,horror,thriller.

That takes place on a beach in Tijuana (Mexico). So the movie is about.

Nancy (Blake Lively) who went on a trip in Tijuana after her mother's.

Death, on a beach that was meaningful to both of them. As she is a.

Surfer, and the sea is great their she starts surfing with 2 local men.

They later go home but Nancy chooses to stay for a couple more waves.

When she gets attacked by a shark. The story starts to get more intense.

But it fades pretty quickly and goes from over-exciting to boring very.

Quickly for the next 45 minutes. The ending scene really disappointed.

Me too.

I'm not sure if it was because of the acting or the scenery or.

Something else but I just couldn't feel any compassion or sympathy for.

The main character, which made it pretty pathetic since she is really.

The only character that we get to know in the movie. Since it's a movie.

That takes place in only one place with such a low number of characters.

(only one this time) I was expecting to really get to know all of her.

Characteristics and the way she lived, with more flashbacks. I want to.

Compare it to the first part of the movie Saw, which is a perfect.

Example of a really good movie which takes place in only one room with.

Two characters.

Another thing that bothered me a lot is the way she.

Thinks and tries to help herself survive. In my opinion, her way of.

Doing things is just too fake, even for a movie, it makes it so hard to.

Watch and feel compassion towards her as I said earlier.

I must say I thought at first this might be a good time to make a mediocre shark.

Movie, but it disappointed me once more, making it another low-grade.

Class thriller. I wouldn't recommend the film to anyone except for.

Those that love shark movies more than anything, but I'm not even sure.

They would like this one. Good try, but not worth the time.
