There were things about this movie that I loved and things that I wasn't too fond of.
I love Jason Stratham. He is great in anything and I think he was perfect for this movie.
I thought the little girl's character was really needless. She was basically put there to push the romantic part of the story forward and it seemed pointless.
I also am not a fan of movies that through in false endings. There is a point where they make it seems like the movie is over and then of course its not. I would rather have constant action than feeling like the movie is over and then getting pulled back into the action again.
The shark looked incredibly realistic. The action was good and the movie kept my attention throughout the entire storyline. I would watch this movie again and would recommend it to others.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Close to Shore: The Terrifying Shark Attacks of 1916 in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Having grown up on the Jersey Shore and being a history nerd I was surprised I had never heard of these event before. That was why when I got the chance to read [Michael Capuzzo's] [Close to Shore: The Terrifying Shark Attacks of 1916] I was so excited. I really enjoyed the description of places I knew from growing up but described in their heyday as opposed to the dilapidated ruins I remember seeing.
[Capuzzo] describes a Jersey Shore of elegance and enjoyment. When it was a status symbol to escape the cities. 1916 was a time of great turmoil with health crisis and a potential war in Europe so people flocked to the shore to escape all this but another danger lurked just off shore.
I know others who have read this book and wish they had introduced me to it sooner because it was an enjoyable, interesting and enlightening read of history and nature.

Sometimes too much choice
Netflix is great, it’s introduced me to lots of great tv shows (Hells Kitchen USA, Kimmy Schmidt, Shark Tank) it lets me binge Drag Race over and over and over.
BUT Netflix I have one GIANT question why do you introduce me to a show I love and then not give me every season there is? It’s like saying here is a million pounds but you can only spend £1.27
Netflix is great but sometimes too much choice isn’t great, I can’t be the only one who watches the same thing over and over and over again?
Netflix is responsible for creating some truly great drama and comedy but is that ruining tv as we know it?
Is Netflix classed as tv? Should Netflix shows be considered for tv awards?
Truly 21st Century problems ?
