The Shallows
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra
- TheLostArtOfLivingMarch 26, 2026Much better than expected. The final boss battle had a great ending. Satisfying. Some elements are missing you'd think would be there but at the same time the minimalist approach works as good as having a bunch of subplots and dragging things out. Does a good job of putting you "in her shoes" and making you feel immense hatred for the shark to the point of calling it names every time it goes after her. Writing a character in sync with my brain was fabulous. They really understand the audience for these things lol
