The Shallows is a survival horror film directed by Jaume Collet-Serra starring Blake Lively.
Nancy travels to a secluded beach following the death of her mother. While surfing, she gets attacked by a great white shark, which leaves her stranded on a rock 200 yards from the shore.
The film is a nice but half hearted attempt to make a shark attack film. It's also true that since Jaws there have been numerous attempts to make films on shark attacks and this film is still different from other but calling this film as an outright great approach wouldn't be correct because of factual and continuity error which make this film just another shark attack survival film.
The plot of the film is decent and execution is also decent to average, the CGI and underwater scenes a something to vouch for and deserves an applause although there are some big factual error such as any surfer knows that where there's a dead whale, there will surely be sharks to feast on it's body and the surfers will avoid going there.
Acting is superb from Blake Lively and she carried the film very well on her shoulders. The screenplay of the film is evenly paced and cinematography is superb.
Overall a decent shark survival film and a good attempt if not the best, can be watched once.
