In the taut thriller The Shallows, when Nancy (Blake Lively) is surfing on a secluded beach, she finds herself on the feeding ground of a great white shark. Though she is stranded only 200 yards from shore, survival proves to be the ultimate test of wills, requiring all of Nancy's ingenuity, resourcefulness, and fortitude.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra

    A very exciting shark thriller with a nice performance by Blake Lively. The effects vary a bit, from totally convincing to not so much, but the end result is very watchable.

    Not the greatest one-person survival movie, but I'm a sucker for even the subpar additions to this genre.

    Much 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

    A good edge of your seat thriller. A few far-fetched/unbelievable moments, but overall a solid movie I'd watch again.
