About half of what is now going on in all cinema is the product of technological advances in film-making and The Shallows makes much more intelligent use of them than the superheroes do. August 14, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Gulp your doubts and follow the imperilled girl into adversities that turn this summer shark dish, if not into Jaws, then into a twisting, biting, exciting loner-in-crisis drama. August 11, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Audiences hungry for shark inspired terror should find enough of interest despite disturbingly inept human characterizations, but something like Spielberg's original Jaws blows this B-movie out of the water. September 30, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The Shallows is solid, B-movie entertainment. It's the kind of movie you would have expected to see on a drive-in double bill back in the 1970s with, say, the original Piranha. July 18, 2020 | Full Review…

I admit that I have been pleasantly surprised with this movie, The Shallows, especially since for being the typical shark movie it knows when to entertain with the right amount of suspense. [Full review in Spanish] June 26, 2020 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

The Shallows is a well-made summer treat. It has plentiful suspense, just enough gore, and a main character that's as tough as a coral reef. The film does what it needs to do, and it does it swiftly and brutally. February 13, 2020 | Full Review…
