The Shallows (2016)
A decent shark movie...
I haven't seen many good shark movies in my life and i have to admin this one is not that bad. A bit unrealistic, yes.. but nonetheless, full of suspense and a nice little time kill.
**SPOILERS FROM HERE**
As i mentioned there is suspense in this movie, i didn't know whether she was going to make it off that rock or survive after (yes, i assumed she was going to live, not many movies have dark endings...). And that is a plus for this movie... However there were quite a few things i disliked... Her unbelievable endurance and strength despite the fact she lost a ton of blood due to the shark bite, multiple scratches and hits and a whole day of swimming... Sharks determination to eat one particular target even though it had a whole whale carcass just a few meters away alongside 3 people it ate during that period. I may be wrong, but i believe only a hungry animal would stalk one pray for so long, and this one had plenty to eat..
I had mixed feeling throughout this movie... It started of nice, then the shark went into berserk mode, killing everybody just because it can... at that point i started hating it a little bit. Then, struggle to live and little bit of action kicked in to save this movie.
Overall, i don't regret watching this move. It has it's ups and downs, but nevertheless a nice movie.
6/10
