There's quite a bit of menace from the photography and at least the shark looks real as it terrorises the stranded "Nancy" (Blake Lively) in a small inlet a matter of a few hundred yards from the shore. Naturally, she's left all of her stuff on the beach so is completely incommunicado after a passing Great White decides it wants a snack. Luckily there are a few big rocks and even a chunky metal rever mais...

**Overall : Blake Lively takes a shallow premise and elevates a basic shark movie to the next level with her excellent performance.** I was skeptical that an entire movie set on a buoy could be any good, but I was wrong! The Shallows is a sensational shark movie! The whole film fell on Blake Lively's shoulders to carry it all with her acting, and she delivered. The tension, bravery, fear, and sver mais...

**An exceptional movie involving a hungry shark** Plot is simple yet so catchy and interesting. After a few minutes you will start to care about the main protagonist, so much that you will cross your fingers hoping for the best. Everything (or almost everything) is going to feel realistic, and there is not anything wrong with the main antagonist ... it is totally well made. Great perforver mais...

As a shark fanatic (thanks, Jaws), I was excited to see The Shallows. When I first saw the trailer, I thought the concept--more 127 Hours than Jaws--was interesting: A single person, alone on a rock, trapped a mere 100 or so yards offshore, in shark-infested waters. Most shark movies follow the Jaws formula to a T: Shark attacks a bather, someone in position of authority decides something must ver mais...

**Very close to the shore, yet too far and dangerous to attempt.** I'm sure you have seen shark attack films like 'Jaws', 'Deep Blue Sea' et cetera, and yep this another one to add to that collection. But this was something very neatly done, I mean for the most of the parts. Looked so real, so I thought it might end up top among its similar theme. In the end, I was little disappointed, because ver mais...

"Jaume Collet-Serra’s woman-vs-wild thriller is beautiful, bigscreen Hollywood nonsense that manoeuvres/manipulates the viewer into the kind of submissive state only the finest summer crowd-pleasers can achieve..."

All you should need to make a good movie is a girl and a shark, but Serra fails to deliver the basics, instead fashioning a movie that too often resembles a female oriented riff on an '80s Old Spice commercial. The Shallows is a damp squib. Read the full review at http://www.themoviewaffler.com/2016/07/new-release-review-shallows.html
