Review of The Shallows (2016) by Patrick D — 21 Jul 2016
Never expect much from a Shark movie, as Jaws will always be the best one. However this movie, once it gets past the 20 mins opening back story/plot and into the ocean, is a thrill ride. The plot to get Blake's character to that beach and to fight for survival is pretty weak, but it services the movie ok.
The parts that really make this movie is once she is in the water and the shark is attacking, It is tense moments, with beautifully shot scenes, and a smartly handled shark. Now it jumps the shark a little at the very end, but the ride to that point and the full movie are done well enough to warrant seeing this movie.
