Shark movies aside from Jaws can be regarded has one of the trashiest sub genres in films, but every now and then, someone has a go at making one that is genuinely good, which is exactly what the Shallows is. It's a one person survival movie like 127 hours that also involves a shark and its very very good indeed. These kind films can be hard to get right as it all comes down to the central performance and how you keep it interesting and this film manages to keep things engaging throughout and has a very solid central performance from Blake Lively. The shark is mainly CG but there's also a small use of practical effects which is pretty cool. It also has a very satisfying climax and a nice little layer of character depth and overall it's just really entertaining and well crafted, definitely one of the best Shark movies since Jaws and worth a watch. ****
