Review of The Shallows (2016) by Imthenoob — 14 Sep 2016
Starts very slow and takes about 20 minutes of the hour and a half run time to get into her life threatening situation. She then spends a majority of the film either sleeping on the rock she is stuck on or tending to her wounds. It's not until the last 20-30 minutes of so anything really happens and she actually tries to escape.
I give props to Lively for giving a solid performance but honestly, There is nothing original or good about this movie. It's not suspenseful enough, Not enough thrills to make you want to keep watching or be entertained. Instead we pumped with needless backstory and a majority of stuff being shown off screen to save on the budget.
