Very well done thriller Movie. Absolutely loved this movie. Highly reccomend this movie to anyone that loves thrillers.

Blake Lively is amazing in this shark attack film! Nice artwork!

Best shark movie probably since Jaws.Keeps you on the edge of your seat!

If you're a BIG fan of Blake Lively -- as I am -- you're gonna love this photogenic treat! This Blake Lively film ranks right up there with the excellently directed (and talented cinematography) of Oliver Stone's directorship of SAVAGES (2012)! And this film, THE SHALLOWS (2016) rivals her magnificently supreme performance by Blake Lively (with Anna Kendrick) in A SIMPLE FAVOR (2018). Blake Lively is a diverse multi-character talented actress who is a real visual photogenic treat to watch. For example, her nuanced, beautiful acting performance and lean-body physical presence (showcasing her face, especially) in THE AGE OF ADELINE (2015). She has beautiful legs and a female body that just won't quit! In this film, her physical attributes are well showcased here along with great cinematography of surfing waves, coral reefs, and sharks! It is a taut survival thriller with a Great White Shark that provides an excellent backdrop-of-a-story-and-plot for her beautiful nuanced face, female figure, and physicality, emotions and well-honed acting skills! If you like "marine-styled films" [(like the very old, the groundbreaking, but "ancient," THE BEACH (Leonardo DiCaprio) or Jessica Alba's INTO THE BLUE],... or "surfing films" like Keanu Reeves' POINT BREAK, et al.,... This movie is for you. This film, THE SHALLOWS, is for you -- especially more so if you like TASTEFULLY filmed, NON-Glorified, NON-overly grossly filmed, NON-"Excessively-Horror" Shark Films, too! This is a nicely done TAUT Thriller, not an overly-sensationalized "JAWS-like" film. If you want the latter, there are PLENTY of those around! -- This movie, THE SHALLOWS, would probably be at least, "slightly disappointing," for you. For me, I bought it for the visual treat of an extremely photogenic, very talented actress, Blake Lively! I bought it for Blake Lively in the setting and themes of being immersed in a very beautiful serene and secluded TROPICAL BEACH! [And then the movie turns into a very-waterbound, (with a menacing Great White Shark) "Taut Survivalist Thriller!"] This film is a $7.99 DVD investment, well-spent FOR ME(!) with multiple DVD viewings already under my belt! I was already enthralled and enchanted after seeing it twice on the Big Screen in movie theaters!

Blah blah blah, it's not Jaws, blah blah. This was a suspenseful movie that I enjoyed watching. Having a somewhat solo artist on screen can be tough to do but I believe Blake Lively did a great job that rivals her husbands movie Buried.
