The Shallows Review

Take a long look at the poster. What do you think the movie will be about? A girl escaping a shark? You got that right. The entire movie is basically based on that. But wait, it's still NOT boring!

Blake Lively plays the only major character in the movie, and yet you do not get bored of watching only one character and don't even realize how less the dialogues are. Now, you won't want to watch this movie more than once, but that single watch will prove to be shockingly enjoyable. This could be because you don't expect this movie to be too exciting for this obvious story, but it keeps you on the edge of the seat always. You start praying for Blake Lively's survival, and find yourself devising plans for her escape. It's certainly a roller coaster ride, quite thrilling. The movie has also been shot really well. I, though, won't be able to watch this same movie a second time.
