was this movie any good?
Probably top3 shark movie of all time. Not that it’s amazing or anything, just that most shark movies absolutely suck ass.
I loved this film. Very suspenseful.
I feel Blake Lively will remain a case of “what could have been”, along with perhaps Emma Watson and Emilia Clarke, a group of actresses that became really popular due to a single role but did not work a whole bunch to capitalize on their popularity.
Gossip Girl really made Blake popular for a while which meant she had decent successes in some of her films. Age of Adaline, The Shallows, A Simple Favor & It Ends with Us are all low budget films which were varying levels of success. But Blake just hasn’t worked a whole lot. There have been smaller roles in films like The Town and Cafe Society or stuff like Green Lantern which did not really depend on her for box office.
She has two bona fide flops in All I see is You and Rhythm Section though.
My only memory of this movie is that my dad hated it.
2nd best shark movie to Jaws, slightly edging out Deep Blue Sea.
Apparently Ryan Reynolds convinced her to do this based on the experience he had making Buried.
Never seen it but I would’ve thought this was more like 15 years old
I love this film.
Even more than Jaws.
I had no idea this movie existed before I saw this post.
I liked this one. It was different enough and entertaining. I also liked Steven Seagull.
My wife and I were just talking about watching it again. We love it!
I like that the movie was unafraid to rough up Blake Lively a little.
Some really superb ocean photography in this film. Blake plays her role so well too
I haven’t seen this in a while but remember loving it.
Underrated film that absolutely proves Blake lively is a very talented actress despite what some people like to claim about her online.
Problem is she’s apparently a mean girl with a massive ego who can’t get out of her own way off camera. She definitely needs to chill out, stay out of the spotlight for a while and just focus on making some solid, well received films(maybe a sequel to this one even).
