#IN THE SHALLOWS FULL MOVIE MOVIE#

Jaume Collet-Serra, who also directed the underrated thriller The Orphan, constructed some strong action sequences. With a mix of ingenuity and smarts, she is able to do battle with the predator. Over two grueling Mexican summer days, Nancy fights for her life. Eventually, it sets its sights on her which begins a harrowing tale of survival that feels a lot like 2013’s Gravity. Nancy stumbled upon the rotting corpse of a whale that a great white shark has been feasting on. However, after a gratuitous surfing montage that looked more like a music video, her trip to paradise takes a turn for horror. In an effort to feel more connected to her she seeks out a secluded Mexican beach that her mother once surfed at. Shark movies since Jaws have been turned into camp-fests that demand increasingly complex permutations of the words “shark,” “mega” and “tornado.” But what The Shallows does is return to the thriller formula that made Spielberg’s magnum opus so successful.īlake Lively - in what is probably her best performance to date - plays Nancy, a med student who’s having an identity crisis in the face of her mother’s passing.

Oh, and the movie was good too.Īll joking aside (even though I’m not kidding that the seagull is fantastic), The Shallows is probably the best shark movie since Jaws - though the competition is scarce. Never did I think that a bird named Steven Seagull would capture the hearts and minds of the American movie audience. When watching The Shallows the first thing you notice is what is clearly one of the best performances of the year.
