Just been to see this movie it's not bad movie kinda reminded me a bit of gone girl with the plot and Anna kendrick always good plus Blake lively as her missing friend. Anyway the film keeps us guessing right too the end with all the sub plots and red herrings would have liked it more if it was less like gone girl and been slightly different movie

Hmmm, its Blake Lively and that's usually enough for me, this one however is a snappy short shark thriller that has moments that just prove to be improbable with a shark that's a bit of a stalker..who could blame him, not a great film but short enough to forgive its shortcomings and did I mention Blake...

Possibly the closest the shark attack genre has ever come to toppling Jaws, The Shallows is tense, nicely filmed and features a great performance from Blake Lively.

Some cool gory moments

Awful Script
Just outright silly in places
Frequent boring lulls
Yawn
My girlfriend is a huge fan of Blake Lively, so she talked me into sitting watching this one. It's not an awful movie, there are small glimmers of a good shark attack movie in here, they are just so few and far between. The back story is a total waste of time and the first 30 minutes of the movie are extremely boring until the shark actually shows up. Then there are some cool shark kills, then the movie slows right down again up until the final showdown between Blake Lively and the shark, the climax of which isn't worth all of the boring exposition and build up.
You could spend and hour and a half of your time on something much better than this, but it's not total trash either, just pretty forgettable overall.

Showed the human instinct to survive
Held great moments of suspense

Felt it played too much on emotions which took away from the suspense
A budget 'Jaws'?!
