description The Shallows (2016 Film) Overview

A surfer is stranded on a rock 200 yards from shore, stalked by a great white shark. It is a straightforward survival story that relies on the isolation of the protagonist. While it is visually polished and features a solid performance by Blake Lively, it struggles to maintain its intensity throughout the entire runtime, often falling back on standard genre cliches. It is ranked here as a decent, if somewhat forgettable, entry in the survival genre.
