IN THE SHALLOWS FULL MOVIE MOVIE

And what we see and get is NancyвЂ™s worst vacation ever. In The Shallows, what you see is what you get. It occasionally fuels an anticipation for human meanness, but that meanness never materializes there is no plot about locals feeding white girls to sharks.

While LivelyвЂ™s Nancy is a self-described gringa in every clueless sense of the word, this movie never crosses into travel-horror territory. Those movies are fascinating in the way they portray Americans, so privileged and blithely unaware of the grimness that surrounds them, coupled with a warped view of the countries they visit - as untrustworthy, inhumane, chaotic, primal. Everything about the The Shallows is pretty surface-levelДЄfter seeing the trailer and marketing for The Shallows, I was convinced the movie would turn out to be a bait-and-switch travel-horror flick in the same vein as The Ruins, Turistas, and even Hostel.

The Shallows is just blue water and (great) white death.ДЄnd yet, in its own simple, battering way, the movie manages to find its fun. ThereвЂ™s no finesse, no subtlety - in either the filmвЂ™s bones or in LivelyвЂ™s performance. ThereвЂ™s no primal terror, like there was in the oft-overlooked Open Water. ThereвЂ™s no musing on humanity or ethereal symbolism, like there was in Steven SpielbergвЂ™s Jaws. The film is about a very attractive woman and a great white shark that would like to make a meal out of her. The Shallows understands this desire and never strays too far from trying to fulfill it. WeвЂ™re here to see sharks eat people - men, women, children, one person in particular.
